SHAFTSBURY â The Select Board is close to adopting a new iteration of the townâs hazard mitigation plan, a document that catalogs potential natural threats and ways to diminish their effects.
Michael Batcher, emergency management program coordinator at the Bennington County Regional Commission, who was involved in the draft planâs development, provided an overview of the document to the board at its Feb. 1 meeting.
âItâs focusing on, in many cases, structural things that you can doâ to mitigate impacts of natural hazards, rather than detailing emergency responses to such events, Batcher said.
