The Town of Bristol is looking for the public’s assistance in identifying local hazards to aid in updating our Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).
As mandated by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, all municipalities are required to complete a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan every five (5) years in order to qualify for FEMA funding should a disaster occur. The purpose of the plan is to identify threats and hazards such as flooding, winter storms, power failures, windstorms, landslides, pandemics, cyber-attacks etc., and then determine appropriate mitigation efforts that can aid municipalities in reducing risk and recovery from such natural, technological, and human-caused hazards.
The Town of Bristol has begun the plan update process and is looking for input from Bristol residents, business owners, and property owners to help identify hazards that impact our community. Please contact Town Administrator Valerie Capels at (802) 453-2410 ext. 1 or townadmin@bristolvt.org with any input or questions. The current Local Hazard Mitigation Plan can be reviewed at the Town Office, Lawrence Memorial Library, and on the Bristol Web site HERE.
