The Town of Wellesley is seeking public comments on its proposed Hazard Mitigation Plan.
This plan is required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and is the result of a collaboration between the Town and surrounding communities.
It was drafted as part of an ongoing effort to reduce the negative impacts and costs from damages associated with natural hazards such as nor'easters, floods, and hurricanes. It is also intended to help reduce loss of life, land, and property in our community that may result from these natural hazards.
The public is encouraged to review and share feedback on this plan. All comments should be submitted by email to Wellesley Executive Director Meghan Jop at mjop@wellesleyma.gov Please write HMP Comments in the subject line.
The deadline to submit comments is Friday, August 11, 2023. Review the draft plan here.
This local plan must be updated every five years in order for Wellesley to remain eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hazard mitigation project grants.
