Dobbs Ferry Residents Urged to Review Hazard Mitigation Plan Proposal

Dobbs Ferry officials are urging residents to review and comment on a proposed Hazard Mitigation Plan that the village is currently developing with several other Westchester County municipalities.

The plan, which can be viewed by clicking here, is required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in order to be eligible for federal grant funding for public and private mitigation projects.

Officials said in a note to residents that the plan “provides a ’blueprint’ by which local governments can make coordinated, cost-effective efforts towards reducing losses from natural hazards such as flooding, severe storms and severe winter storms.”

They added, “Available funding can support projects such as drainage improvements, structural elevations, and backup power for schools and critical facilities.”
