Update for the Create a Resilience Hub (11/18/25):
The Core team of Chris Siegriest, Frances Rose Subbiondo, Katie Proietti, Olivia Turner and Rae Carter will work together as project managers and logistic coordinators for developing the Plainfield Resilience Hub structure and operations.

Through November and December the Core Team will build out next steps from the Plainfield Forward event to:
develop core values and scales of urgency
develop core team group norms and roles and responsibilities
identify how to work with the Resilience Hub Toolkit and engage the community
create a plan and next steps for town resource assessment
plan for next steps to integrate with Plainfield Town, Hazard Mitigation, and Emergency Management Plans
finalize fiscal sponsorship relationship and early stage grant funding
plan for community meal/farmers market projects
A series of meetings are planned for winter 2026 to connect town partners who work at or represent town buildings, spaces, and committees. Town partners interested in participating are asked to complete the Town Partner Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by December 31.
They will plan for a mutual aid fair to identify and share projects in early spring 2026. They will work on ways to communicate and include the whole community. Sign up here to receive more communication in 2026.
