WILLISTON, VT. – Federal funding is now available to help
individuals in two additional Vermont counties recover from the severe
storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides from July 7, 2023 and
continuing.

Residents of CALEDONIA and ORANGE counties who suffered damage to
their homes or personal property may apply for disaster assistance
with FEMA. Additional counties may be added at a later date if
requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage
assessments.

These two counties are in addition to the six counties already
designated for Individual Assistance: Chittenden, Lamoille, Rutland,
Washington, Windham and Windsor.

Assistance may include grants for temporary housing and home repairs,
low-interest loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other
programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the
effects of the disaster.

To apply for assistance, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362
between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.; go online to DisasterAssistance.gov
[http://www.disasterassistance.gov]; or download the FEMA App
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-products]. If you
use a relay service such as video relay service (VRS), captioned
telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service
when you apply.
