News and Media: Disaster 4720

Federal funding is now available to help individuals in an additional Vermont county recover from the severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides from July 7, 2023, and continuing.

Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) teams from FEMA are going door-to-door in Vermont communities, canvassing neighborhoods and helping flood-impacted residents register for FEMA disaster assistance.

Federal funds are available for affected individuals who suffered damage to their homes or personal property caused by the July severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides in nine counties: Caledonia, Chittenden, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor.

A Disaster Recovery Center will open in Barre on July 27 to help Vermont residents affected by the floods kickstart their recovery. The joint DRC, a temporary facility established in partnership between Barre, the state of Vermont and FEMA, will help survivors apply for FEMA assistance, upload documents and answer questions in person.

Renters in Caledonia, Chittenden, Lamoille, Orange, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor counties whose homes and property were damaged by the July severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides can apply for FEMA disaster assistance.
