Hazard mitigation measures are the things you do today to be more protected in the future. A plan is developed BEFORE a disaster strikes. As of November 1, 2004 communities without a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan are not eligible for FEMA project grant monies under certain FEMA programs. Rensselaer County is undertaking a Multi-Jurisdictinal Hazard Mitigation Planning Project which the Town of Schaghticoke is a participant in. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
