Resident invites community to resilience-network workshop March 4
Summary
A resident urged neighbors to attend a March 4 resilience-network workshop to build local disaster-response capacity, noting gaps in the town emergency plan and suggesting use of the Vermont Resilience Toolkit.
During public comment a resident invited the board and community to an informational workshop on building a town resilience network on Wednesday, March 4 at 7:00 p.m. The resident said the 90-minute session is intended to start a grassroots network to identify local resources and plan mutual-aid responses for incidents such as storms, power outages or fires.
The commenter noted perceived gaps in the town’s emergency plan, citing the absence of explicit mental-health or nursing supports, and suggested adding people with technical skills to create radio communications that work if the internet goes down. She said she hopes to use the "Vermont Resilience Toolkit" developed after recent floods as a resource and encouraged broad community participation.
The board responded positively and encouraged attendance; the resident left contact suggestions for follow-up.
