In recent months, Connecticut has been contending with the impact of flooding from storms. These storms are a strong reminder of the risks posed by natural disasters.
The Town of Manchester is currently working with the Capitol Region Council of Government (CRCOG) and the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) to update the Capitol Region’s Hazard Mitigation Plan along with a “Hazard Mitigation AND Climate Adaptation Plan (HMCAP)”.
The plans will outline a set of actions that can be taken to reduce losses of property and life due to natural disasters like floods, severe wind events, winter storms, wildfires, droughts, extreme heat events, and earthquakes; and will outline a set of actions to reduce impacts of these events when made worse by the effects of climate change.
People living and working in and near the Capitol region (which includes Manchester) have several opportunities to provide input to the planning process.
