"FEMA Assistance Available for Vermonters in Flood Recovery"

Vermonters affected by floods can now apply for financial assistance through FEMA after President Biden approved a major disaster declaration. The assistance includes housing repair, rental assistance, and personal property loss. Residents and business owners in eligible counties can start the application process online or by phone. The declaration also allows reimbursement for emergency protective measures. Other updates include road closures, drinking water safety precautions, mental health support, and the reopening of Amtrak service. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg plans to visit Vermont on Monday.
