The Town of Lynnfield has prepared a draft updated Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) to help the Town reduce its vulnerability to natural hazards such as flooding, hurricanes, and winter storms. 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.
To learn more or read the HMP visit mapc.org/resource-library/lynnfield-hmp.
The Hazard Mitigation Team (HMT) is accepting public comments. These can be submitted via email at LynnfieldResilience@mapc.org. All comments will be compiled into an appendix to the HMP, in addition to being reviewed and used to improve the draft. Comments must be submitted by Oct. 24 to be considered.
The Town of Lynnfield HMT was assisted by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) in preparing this draft plan. The project was funded by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) through a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant.
