Attention Otisfield community members! We need you!

Do you live, work, or spend a lot of time in Otisfield? CEBE is conducting a Vulnerability Assessment for the Town of Otisfield. Although it is called a "vulnerability" assessment, it's more of an assessment of the town's strengths and needs to develop recommendations for community resilience.

You can help Otisfield become more resilient to extreme weather and other climate impacts and win a $100 Hannaford gift card!

Join us for community forums on Mon, Sept. 21st & Thu, Sept. 24th, from 5:30-6:30 pm at the Otisfield Community Hall (292 Oxford Road) and on Zoom. All are welcome, and free snacks will be provided! Feel free to join both forums or just one. Each forum attended will enter you into a raffle for a $100 Hannaford gift card.

This assessment will include gathering historical weather and environmental data, populations/census data, and infrastructure data. It will also include a community-wide survey, stakeholder interviews, and community forums. At the end of the assessment, we will write up a detailed report with our findings and recommendations for community resilience projects. Through this assessment process, we will also be funded to help Otisfield write another Community Action Grant to implement recommendations at no cost to the town! Each assessment is different depending on the interests and needs of the community. 

If transportation or funding are barriers for you joining these forums, please reach out, and we will do our best to ensure you can participate.

If you are not available to join for these forums but would still like to help out and be entered into the raffle for the $100 Hannaford gift card, you can fill out the Otisfield Vulnerability Assessment Survey!

We hope you will join us! For questions or more information, reach out to resilience@ecologybasedeconomy.org or 207-739-2101.
