Should Disaster Strike, Westborough's Working on a Plan
Westborough is looking for input from citizens during its efforts to put together a pre-disaster mitigation plan.

Through a federal grant, the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) is working in conjunction with Westborough to create a Natural hazards Pre Disaster Mitigation Plan.
The Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) program p”rovides funds to states, territories, Indian tribal governments, communities and universities for hazard mitigation planning and the implementation of all hazard mitigation projects prior to a disaster event. These plans and projects reduce the overall risk to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from actual disaster declarations.”
This plan is intended to reduce the vulnerability of citizens, critical facilities, infrastructure, private property, and the natural environment within the town.
