The Maryland Historical Trust's Cultural Resources Hazard Mitigation Planning Program assists local governments in integrating important historic places into hazard mitigation plans and planning activities.   The program provides technical assistance on a variety of topics related to natural hazards.

Training is also offered through static modules on the Maryland Historical Trust's website  and live presentations on how to conduct a risk assessment and how to complete other components necessary for developing a cultural resources-specific component for a local hazard mitigation plan. 

As a member of the Maryland Resiliency Partnership, the program is supported by the other members of the Partnership.  Partners help respond to technical assistance requests and coordinating training.


Are historic properties in your community vulnerable to flooding?
