With a grant from Vermont Emergency Management (VEM) the Town of Sheldon is working to create a Local Hazard Mitigation plan for reducing the impacts of disasters in the community. In consultation with SEAM Solutions, the Town will be drafting a plan to be approved by VEM and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
This is going to be an expedited process, so we plan on moving quickly to try and complete the update as quickly as possible. This is a great opportunity for your voice to be heard in preparation for disasters. This work is being done to access FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant funding and help prevent damages in future disasters or extreme storm events and to increase state funding for the Town in disaster recovery.
The Town will be sending out a community survey soon to gather information for this project - stay tuned!
