Williamstown Select Board to Hear Update on Hazard Mitigation Plan

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Residents have a chance to share their concerns about the town's preparedness for potential natural disasters as Williamstown updates its Hazard Mitigation Plan.
 
Emergency management consultant Jamie Caplan of Northampton is working with the town to refresh the plan, last updated in 2019, that expired this summer.
 
At Monday's Select Board meeting, her firm will be providing an update on the plan, which the town plans to submit to the state this spring. Both the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency review and approve such plans, which make municipalities eligible for pre-disaster mitigation funding, Caplan said recently.
 
"At the meeting on Monday with the Select Board, we will identify all of those hazards — anything possible, but only natural hazards," Caplan said. "We will discuss their list of critical facilities, buildings and infrastructure.
 
"Based on that, we do a risk analysis. When we come up with what the risks are, we come up with ways to mitigate the risks. Those projects we call mitigation actions."
 
"We" in this case includes the experts from Jamie Caplan Consulting, who are under contract with the commonwealth to work with towns and cities, alongside a committee of local stakeholders.
 
Caplan said her firm started working on the Williamstown plan this summer. The process includes gathering input from community partners.
