BARNSTABLE – The Town of Barnstable is hosting a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness workshop later this month.
The community planning event will explore current and future vulnerabilities to infrastructure, the community and environment from natural hazards and changing climate to develop municipal and community response actions.
The event is Friday, March 29 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Barnstable Town Hall.
During the workshop, participants will work with local and regional leaders to: characterize the hazards facing the community; identify community vulnerabilities and hazards; identify and prioritize potential community actions; and recommend overall priority actions for the community.
The workshop is a product of the town’s participation in the Commonwealth’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program.
The program provides support for towns in the state to plan for and implement projects that mitigate the impacts of climate change and natural hazards.
Communities that complete the program become certified as an “MVP Community” and become eligible for state grant funding and other opportunities.
