Hazard Mitigation & Resiliency

Summary of Findings

The following is a link to the Summary of Findings from the Municipal Resilience Program Community Resilience Building Workshop, held in Portsmouth on July 25, 2019.  This report makes Portsmouth eligible to apply to the RI Infrastructure Bank (RIIB) for funding of local resiliency projects that best meet criteria set forth in an upcoming RIIB Request for Proposals.

The Summary of Findings Report supplements our existing Hazard Mitigation Plan (2018) and identifies projects that may qualify for funding from other sources besides RIIB.  Because the Summary is  a working document, written comments are welcome and may be sent to our Emergency Manager, Ray Perry at  rperry@portsmouthri.com, or mailed to Town Hall, 2200 East Main Road, Portsmouth, RI 02871, Attn: EM Director.   Thank you to all the residents that participated in the Workshop and development of this report.
