The Falmouth Local Planning Team (LPT), in partnership with the Woods Hole Group, has prepared the Falmouth Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (Plan), dated July 2022, for public review and comment. The Plan identified impacts of climate change and natural hazards on residents, buildings, and infrastructure. Risks associated with the impacts are identified and evaluated. Mitigation actions that focus resources on the greatest risk areas are developed. Documenting the mitigation items and integrating the necessary actions into our future planning and budgeting will help protect our residents and infrastructure. The Plan demonstrates Falmouth’s commitment to preparing for potential future disasters.
Everyone is encouraged to review the Plan. The Plan can be obtained from the Coastal Resiliency Action Committee Page on the Town’s website and a link to download the Plan is provided at the bottom of this Page. Please submit any questions and/or comments relative to the Plan via email to Leslie Fields, Woods Hole Group Project Manager: lfields@woodsholegroup.com. The public comment period will end August 1, 2022 at 3:00 PM. Public comments received after this date/time will not be considered.
Reminder, the Plan will be presented to the Falmouth Board of Selectmen at a public hearing on Monday July 25, 2022 at 7:00 PM at Falmouth Town Hall. This is an opportunity for the public to learn about the Plan, participate, and offer comments and recommendations during the final draft stage and prior to submittal to MEMA and FEMA for final approval.
Woods Hole Group and the LPT looks forward to hearing from you.
