Bradford Hazard Mitigation and Severe Weather Event Survey

Bradford Hazard Mitigation Committee 2024

The Town of Bradford, NH is updating its 2018 Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Hazard Mitigation Committee developed a Survey to obtain your opinions about severe weather events, disasters, natural hazards, and mitigation of these hazards & events in Bradford. Your responses will help make our community more resilient to disasters and severe weather. Individual responses will be kept anonymous and will be compiled for the 2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan's data collection to help direct priorities.

Please fill out our Hazard Mitigation & Severe Weather Event Survey. This 10-15 minute Survey will remain open throughout the planning process, so feel free to enter your response anytime. Tell others about this Survey and encourage them to fill it out too.
