The Town of Guildhall is looking for the public’s assistance in identifying local hazards to aid in updating the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).
As mandated by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, all municipalities are required to complete a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan every 5 years in order to qualify for FEMA funding should a disaster occur. The plan aids in identifying threats and hazards such as flooding, winter storms, power failures, pandemics, cyber-attacks etc. and then determine mitigation efforts that can aid municipalities in reducing risk and recovery from natural, technological, and human-caused hazards.
The Town of Guildhall has begun the plan update process and is looking for input from Guildhall residents to help identify hazards that impact your community. Please contact George Blakeslee, Town Clerk by email at [email protected] or phone (802) 676-3797 with any input or questions. The current Local Hazard Mitigation Plan can be examined at the town office or online at
