ORIGINAL: Tioga County and the Village of Owego are currently conducting their five-year updates to their Hazard Mitigation Plans. In this update, severe storms, extreme temperatures, drought and flood will be addressed.

In a press release Nucci wrote, “Creating a thorough and well-informed plan for these hazards is crucial since only after the hazard mitigation plan and mitigation actions are adopted by the Village Board of Trustees, are these actions eligible for FEMA grant funding.”

A planning committee comprised of village officials, community members, and advisory board members will oversee the plan development. The Village is embarking upon a community-informed planning process in which five public meetings will be held from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Village Office, located at 22 Elm St. in Owego. Meeting dates are Nov. 1, 9, 16, 30, and Dec. 7. The public is encouraged to attend.
