Storm Smart Actions
Schedule a Storm Smart Assessment
Storm Smart is a FREE program that exists to work with property owners throughout the Mad River Valley to protect our roads and waterways. By finding ways to slow down, spread out, and sink in stormwater on our own land we can avoid costly erosion on town and private roads while protecting aquatic life and a long tradition of swimming in crystal clear water on hot summer days. |

Being Storm Smart means taking part in a larger conversation about sustainable development, land conservation, town planning, and community building. Check out these resources that folks around the state and country have developed to make being Storm Smart easy. |
