Dear Neighbor,
While Connecticut has enjoyed a period of relative calm over the last five years, the tropical systems of 2021 (Elsa, Fred, Henri, and Ida) and the severe flood of August 2024 were reminders of the risks posed by natural disasters. The region’s communities have shared in the development and adoption of a “natural hazard mitigation plan” for two decades, with updates incorporated every five years.
The Western Connecticut Council of Governments (WestCOG) is performing resilience planning to inform future hazard mitigation plans. Efforts will lead to mitigation 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.
People living and working in the WestCOG Planning Region can take the short, 2 minute, online survey (2 minutes long, 5 questions) and sign up for updates for upcoming public meetings.
Click here to access the survey.
