RE:
Canterbury Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2016
The Town’s Hazard Mitigation Committee will soon be meeting to begin its work to
update the Canterbury Hazard Mitigation Plan 2011. We will review and assess past
and potential natural disasters and other hazard events, and identify critical facilities
and vulnerable areas and populations. The Committee will identify existing Town
strategies and develop mitigation actions to reduce the impact of these hazards to
Canterbury’s people, buildings, and property.
You are cordially invited to attend and participate in the Canterbury Hazard Mitigation Committee
meetings. The Committee will hold its first meeting on Monday, November 9, 2015 at 10:00 AM at the
Canterbury Municipal Building, 26 Baptist Road, Canterbury. Additional meetings will be scheduled at
this time to be held over the next several months. The draft Hazard Mitigation Plan Update 2016
should be completed in spring 2016.
We are encouraging all interested engaged citizens, businesses, and organizations to attend the
Committee meetings and participate in hazard mitigation discussion and decision-making. We value
the knowledge and unique perspective your position could bring to this planning process because
natural, human or technological disasters can occur anywhere. Please consider attending this
upcoming meeting or any of the future meetings to be scheduled – view our Hazard Mitigation
Committee Meeting Calendar at www.canterbury-nh.org after November 9 For more information
about how you can be of assistance or why you have been invited, please contact me at 603.783.9955
