Hazard Mitigation Plan
Every five years the Martha’s Vineyard Commission works with the Emergency Managers to create a Hazard Mitigation Plan, which looks at various threats to our community and sets out priority actions to address those threats. Most are climate-related, from fire hazards to flood and storm hazards. The latest Hazard Mitigation Plan for the island was recently updated. There is lots of great information in this plan, both for the island as a whole and town by town.
