Several Vermont municipalities were impacted by the July 2024 flooding and many more are still recovering from the two major flood events in the summer of 2023. This work and funding can take so long to complete, and the process can be so challenging, that we are holding recurring meetings to support the municipal officials who are dealing with it. Each month, VLCT hosts staff from Vermont Emergency Management (VEM), FEMA, and Vermont’s Flood Recovery Office and other partners to share information, discuss timely topics, and conduct a Q&A to help smooth the path to flood response, recovery, mitigation, and resilience.
Each check-in features:
- Updates about FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.
- Information directly from FEMA and state officials.
- Details about other programs and opportunities that could benefit your town relative to flood recovery, mitigation, and resilience.
- Tips, best practices, and resources that can help you navigate projects involving FEMA funding.
