Hazard Mitigation Committee

Deering Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Every 5 years, the Plan must be updated and approved to current requirements to ensure the Town’s continued eligibility for federal disaster recovery and mitigation grant project funding. Recent past and potential natural disasters, severe weather events, and other hazard events will be assessed and critical facilities and vulnerable areas and populations will be identified. The Committee will review existing mitigation capabilities and develop long-term risk reduction mitigation actions to help alleviate the impact of these events to Deering’s people, buildings, and property.
