• The Town of Alexandria commences hazard mitigation planning. The Alexandria Emergency Management Director (EMD) will meet with June Garneau of Mapping and Planning Solutions to work on the required five-year update to the Alexandria Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Town and Mapping and Planning Solutions are conducting a series of hazard mitigation meetings over the next few months to develop the plan. During these public meetings, the Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (HMPT) will address natural, technological, and human-caused hazards such as Inland Flooding, Long-Term Utility Outages, and Transport Accidents; the Team will also determine “Action Items” to help mitigate the effects of these hazards.  The Team will also review shelter sites and the need for generators at those sites. By examining critical infrastructure and key resources, along with past hazards, the Team will establish priorities for future mitigation projects and steps that can be taken to increase public awareness of hazards in general. As mandated by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, all municipalities must complete a local hazard mitigation plan to qualify for Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) funding should a natural disaster occur.  FEMA grants make the planning processes possible. The HMPT is currently being formed.  Alexandria citizens and any interested stakeholders are invited to participate.  The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 10, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM via “Zoom”.  The public is encouraged to attend all meetings. To be included in the process, all interested parties should contact George Clayman, Fire Chief & EMD, by email at fire@alexandrianh.com; interested parties will be added to the Zoom meeting invitation list.  Future meetings are scheduled for August 14, September 18, October 16, November 13, December 11, 2024, and January 15, 2025.  All meetings are scheduled for Wednesdays, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
