The Flood Safety Act and Beyond: Statewide and Local Efforts to Address Flooding in Rutland and Addison Counties

Join regional organizations for a discussion on Wednesday, April 29th at 6:00 pm to hear about actions the state and local organizations are taking to reduce flood risk and protect our communities.

This event will also provide information on Vermont’s Flood Safety Act, which is designed to address flood risk through a watershed-wide approach. Planning for resilience now is crucial in preventing further loss of life and property in future storms. This event will help towns and community members understand what the implementation of statewide river corridor protections means for their town and provide time to answer questions related to the Act.

All community members are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Please register in advance of this meeting, and a link to join will be provided to your email.
