Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Plan
Pursuant to the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), as amended, the South Western Regional Planning Agency (SWRPA), Greenwich Office of Emergency Management and the Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission staff have prepared, along with other Town agencies, a Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Strategy Document for the Town of Greenwich to develop mitigation strategies that reduce the loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster assistance costs resulting from natural disasters. DMA 2000 requires all local governments to have an approved PDM Plan in place to be eligible to receive Public Assistance Funds and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project funding.
SWRPA has received funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to develop a PDM Plan for the eight municipalities comprising the South Western Region of Connecticut. This study is funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and administered by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (State Project Number FEMA-PDM FY 2003). The Greenwich mitigation strategies will be incorporated into the regional Pre-Disaster Mitigation Strategy Document: Connecticut's South Western Region.
The following documents are available for review:
1) Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Strategy Document: CT SW Region (3.5MB pdf, includes the Greenwich Section)
2) Greenwich PDM Strategies (395kb pdf, Greenwich section alone)
3) Greenwich Mitigation Strategy Prioritization Matrix (55kb pdf)
4) Legal Ad (110kb pdf)
5) Nov. 30, 2004 Public Hearing Agenda (35kb pdf)
