Pittsfield's Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee has developed this plan as a strategy for reducing current and future natural hazards risks and impacts from climate change. When implemented, the Hazard Mitigation Plan makes the City more resilient to natural hazards such as flooding, snowstorms, high winds, and extreme temperatures. City officials and local stakeholders developed this plan with support from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approval, and City adoption, of the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update allows the City to apply for pre- and post-disaster hazard mitigation grant funds.
