The Select Board on Aug. 5 adopted a revised Hazard Mitigation Pla

LANCASTER — The Select Board on Aug. 5 adopted a revised Hazard Mitigation Plan. The 158-page document is the town’s playbook for preemptively protecting people and property from disaster. It identifies hazards, ranks them by risk level (very high, high, medium, low, very low), and proposes a list of “action items” to reduce or remove those threats. As before, the Hazard Mitigation Plan lists severe winter weather and transport accidents as Lancaster’s top threats to people and property.
