Making a Visible Difference in Communities: New Hampshire

Making a Visible Difference in Communities Home

Hinsdale, NH

Hinsdale, NH is a small rural community that has faced significant flooding in the past. EPA is working with this community to help them become more resilient to future flooding, which is likely to occur more frequently as the climate changes.  

In Hinsdale, EPA is conducting a vulnerability assessment of the town’s drinking water treatment and distribution system and will develop a resilience plan. This will be followed by a tri-state Water Sector Resilience Workshop to share lessons learned and new tools, resulting in more enhanced coordination among water utilities and emergency responders. 

EPA worked with the Town of Hinsdale and the U.S. Postal Service to install a rain garden at the Hinsdale Post Office.
