FARMVILLE — The kick-off meeting for the Commonwealth Regional Council’s (CRC) Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update is set for Tuesday at 2 p.m.

The original meeting was postponed due to inclement weather, according to the CRC.

The meeting will be held in The Mill Room — the downstairs conference room in the Mill Building, located at One Mill Street in Farmville.

“CRC staff is working with a project management team to undertake a review and update of the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, which addresses the effects of natural hazards (tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, winter weather, drought, wildfire etc.) on people and property in the area. Natural hazards have the potential of impacting every aspect of community life, and often result in the disruption of basic services and significant financial losses,” a CRC release stated.

The public and interested stakeholders in the region are invited to attend this meeting. For more information, contact Todd Fortune at the CRC at (434) 392-6104 or email TFortune@virginiasheartland.org.
