end
Background:
SCCOG Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Five-Year Plan was recently approved by FEMA.
This Plan was developed with input from Southeastern Connecticut Council of Government Member Municipalities along with Consultant, Resilient Land & Water, LLC.
This is the fourth iteration of this Plan for Southeastern Connecticut.
The adoption of the Plan will enable SCCOG Member Municipalities to apply for and receive "Pre-disaster" funds from FEMA, from the following programs:
* Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
* Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities
* Flood Mitigation Assistance
The Plan should also act as a guide for planning and funding for other projects either undertaken with municipal funds or other grants. Most recently, there have been many other grant opportunities for Resilience/Hazard Mitigation Projects.
To finalize this effort, Municipalities must adopt the Resolution as provided.
