The Federal Emergency Management Agency encourages all Town's and Public Bodies to adopt a Hazard Mitigation Plan. This Plan considers the many ways Boxborough will attempt to mitigate natural disasters and opens the Town to federal funding. This Plan was developed through a comprehensive planning process, engaging several Town Departments, and included robust public participation.
Town officials and local stakeholders developed this plan with funding support from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approval, and Town adoption, of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update allows the Town to pursue pre- and post-disaster hazard mitigation grant opportunities.

Public engagement lies at the core of our Hazard Mitigation Plan. It is imperative that this plan reflects the diverse perspectives and priorities of our community members as we move to mitigate risks posed by natural hazards and climate change.
The Town looks forward to a collaborative effort in building a resilient and secure future!
