Join regional organizations for a virtual conversation to hear about actions the state and local organizations are taking to reduce flood risk, improve water quality, and protect our communities.

This event will also provide information on Vermont’s Flood Safety Act, which is designed to address flood risk through a watershed-wide approach. Planning for resilience now is crucial in preventing further loss of life and property in future storms. This event will help towns and community members understand what the implementation of statewide river corridor protections means for their town and provide time to answer questions related to the Act.

All community members are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Please register in advance of this meeting and a link to join will be provided to your email.
