Draft South Central Region Hazard Mitigation Plan - May 23rd Public Workshop

The South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) is hosting four public workshops to present, review and discuss the Draft South Central Region Hazard Mitigation Plan. The purpose of the plan is to reduce the Region’s vulnerability to natural hazards and provide a comprehensive approach to mitigate potential hazards. Mitigation strategies include planning, policy, regulation change, educational programs, infrastructure projects and other activities.  The Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan will ease the burden of keeping municipalities in the SCRCOG region safe and resilient to natural hazards by identifying and developing actions to reduce or eliminate those risks.

A workshop has been scheduled within the Town of Madison for Thursday, May 23, 2013 at the Madison Senior Center (29 Bradley Road) from 6 PM – 8 PM. Public participation is an important part of the mitigation planning process.  Residents, business owners and town officials of the SCRCOG municipalities are encouraged to participate in these workshops.
