The Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grant program (MVP) supports the efforts of cities and towns across the state to plan for resiliency. Communities will be awarded funding to complete vulnerability assessments and develop action-oriented resiliency plans for extreme weather and natural and climate related hazards. This planning will be supported by MVP certified providers who will be trained in workshops across the state to provide technical assistance to communities in completing the assessment and resiliency plan using the Nature Conservancy’s Community Resilience Building Framework.
Program Objectives
- Provide free training on the Community Resilience Building Framework for state certified MVP vendors to support cities and towns going through the MVP planning process.
