The Town of Wilmington is looking for the public’s assistance in identifying local hazards to aid in
updating the 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 5 years in order to qualify for FEMA funding should a disaster occur. The
plan aids in identifying threats and hazards such as flooding, winter storms, power failures, pandemics,
cyber-attacks etc. and then determine mitigation efforts that can aid municipalities in reducing risk and
recovery from natural, technological, and human-caused hazards.
The Town of Wilmington has begun the plan update process and is looking for input from Wilmington
residents to help identify hazards that impact your community. Please contact Stephanie Magnan at
[email protected] or (802)793-3484 with any input or questions. The
current Local Hazard Mitigation Plan can be located here. Additionally, please take a few
minutes to answer our survey questions here.
