In Connecticut, municipalities must complete comprehensive local plans at least every 10 years to remain eligible for discretionary state funding, and natural hazard mitigation plans must be updated every 5 years to remain eligible for hazard mitigation project funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Municipalities may also complete other plans, but those plans are not uniformly distributed or required across the state. Many Connecticut municipalities are integrating climate change adaptation into these planning efforts, making any actions the community has prioritized eligible for state or federal funding.
