The plan also addresses the impacts of climate change and features recommended mitigation actions the Town can take to become more resilient to natural hazards.
The Town wants to hear from you! Download and read the Hazard Mitigation Plan. If you have any questions or would like to send a comment, please send an email to LittletonResilience@mapc.org by June 18, 2024.

Town of Littleton Hazard Mitigation Plan UpdatePublic Survey
The Town of Littleton experiences natural hazard impacts including flooding, winter storms, droughts, and increasingly frequent and severe storms. To prepare for these hazards and make Littleton more resilient, the Town is updating its 2017 Hazard Mitigation Plan. Here’s a brief introduction to the plan:
Overview of Hazard Mitigation Plans

The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 seeks to have all communities prepare local Hazard Mitigation Plans
​The plan is intended to provide resilience from natural hazards before a disaster​ ​strikes the community​.
FEMA requires that plans be updated every five years to reflect current conditions and local priorities
An approved plan is required for Littleton to apply for FEMA grants​ that can fund mitigation projects

What are the natural hazards addressed by Littleton’s plan?

Flooding hazards
Wind hazards (thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes)​
Winter hazards (blizzards, ice storms, nor’easters) ​
Geologic hazards (earthquakes, landslides)​
Wildfires ​(brushfires, forest fires)
Extreme temperatures
Drought​

What is Hazard Mitigation?Hazard Mitigation includes a wide range of activities that Littleton can undertake, including:

Prevention (planning and zoning to keep development “out of harms way.”)​
Property Protection (building elevation, flood and wind-proofing buildings)​
Public Education (public outreach to increase awareness of hazards and mitigating them)​
Protect Natural Resources (wetlands, floodplains that serve to buffer flood and storm events.) ​
Structural Projects (culverts, stormwater drainage, pumps, dams) ​
Emergency Services Protection ​(protection of emergency facilities & infrastructure

We want to hear from you!
The Town of Littleton is conducting this survey to ensure that its plan addresses the concerns of local residents and businesses.The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and it will be open until January 31, 2024.
