Disaster management plans reviewed

The regional planning agency for Fairfield County is reviewing disaster management plans.  A draft plan to cover 2016 through 2021 has been created to detail risk, preparation, mitigation and response to natural disasters.  The Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan was crafted by the Western Connecticut Council of Governments. 

 

It outlines the response for the towns of Wilton, Weston and 6 other lower Fairfield County towns.  Potential impacts from flooding, blizzards, dam failures and other possible dangers are examined. 

 

The current Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Administration in 2011.  Once the new plan is approved by FEMA, the municipalities will be eligible for various federal funding to help with implementation including for flood control projects, bridge repair and utility protection.
