Tunxis Community College will hold a public forum on Feb. 24 at 4 p.m. in the President’s Conference Room of the 100 Building to provide a brief overview of a Hazard Mitigation Plan and answer questions.

Students, faculty, staff and members of the public are invited to learn and comment on the Multi-Campus Hazard Mitigation Plan, which will highlight some of the hazards that could present the greatest risks to campus operations.

The plan is part of a greater project which includes all 17 institutions governed by the Board of Regents— the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities’ (ConnSCU) 12 community colleges, four state universities and Charter Oak State College. The plan will assist the campuses in identifying and reducing risks from natural hazards, identify actions that can be taken to prevent loss of life and property damage, and prioritize funding for mitigation efforts. While natural disasters cannot be prevented from occurring, the continued implementation of mitigation strategies identified in the plan will make ConnSCU campuses more sustainable and disaster-resilient.

The project is funded by a grant allocated by the Connecticut Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Please contact Charles Cleary, dean of administration, or John Lodovico, director of facilities, at 860-773-1303.

Tunxis is located at the junction of Routes 6 and 177 inFarmington. For directions and campus map, visit tunxis.edu/directions.
