Promote public safety in natural disasters and emergency situations

The Town should plan for more fre­quent and intense weath­er events by imple­ment­ing appro­pri­ate dis­as­ter mit­i­ga­tion and adap­ta­tion mea­sures. The Town should devel­op a Post Dis­as­ter Recov­ery Plan, which should include eco­nom­ic recov­ery strate­gies. Mit­i­ga­tion, resilien­cy and pre­pared­ness mea­sures should be includ­ed in all local plans and design projects. The Town’s Haz­ard Mit­i­ga­tion Plan should con­tin­ue to be updat­ed as required and coor­di­nat­ed with ongo­ing cap­i­tal and infra­struc­ture improve­ments. The Town should invest in ener­gy reli­a­bil­i­ty and secu­ri­ty and explore the fea­si­bil­i­ty of com­mu­ni­ty and neigh­bor­hood micro­grids and com­bined heat and pow­er (CHP) sys­tems. Final­ly, the Town should con­tin­ue to pro­mote safe­ty aware­ness in all emer­gen­cies, includ­ing evac­u­a­tion infor­ma­tion in the event of an emer­gency at Indi­an Point.
