Hazard Mitigation Plan
Fairhaven is updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan to reduce the risks from flooding, hurricanes, severe storms, and other natural hazards. The plan identifies local vulnerabilities and outlines strategies to protect lives, property, and critical services.
Your input is essential to ensure the plan reflects community priorities and includes effective, practical solutions.

Open Space and Recreation Planning
SRPEDD works with towns and other organizations to support the realization of high quality open space and recreation facilities.
Open Space and Recreation areas are some of our most loved, utilized, and iconic community spaces. Maybe it’s the local pool where we learned to swim, the wooded trail where we got to know a new tree, or the playground where we spent family time, these places hold a special place in our personal and community fabrics.
Additionally, there is growing appreciation for the value of key specialized open spaces, such as rivers and forests, in combating climate change impacts like extreme heat, flooding, and water quality challenges.
SRPEDD is frequently a lead partner in the development of community Open Space & Recreation Plans, the seven-year documents that communicate local visions and values for improving open space and recreation areas for all residents, users, and ecological functions.
These plans open the door to potential grant funding for project implementation, but are equally important for the community conversations and involvement that SRPEDD helps to facilitate as part of plan development.
