The Town works with Rutland Regional Planning Commission and Vermont Emergency Management to plan for emergency response.

The Local Emergency Management Plan is updated every April. It contains information about local resources and contact information for people who can offer assistance or help to manage a crisis.
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is updated every five years. It lays out how the Town will respond to road and power-outage conditions in the most common natural-event conditions: road washouts/flooding; severe cold, snow, and icing; and high wind, heavy rain, and hail.

For any information or questions about emergency planning or response, please contact any memebr of the town's Selectboard. The town is currently without an Emergency Management Director due to a resignation. If you are interesting in stepping into this role for the town, let a Selectboard member know.

The current Local Emergency Management Plan (LEMP) and the current Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement are linked below. For news and updates on local emergency situations sign up to Front Porch Forum or the Town's Subscribe page.
