Release Date: 
October 11, 2023 

Vermont residents affected by July’s severe storms, flooding,
landslides and mudslides now have until OCTOBER 31 to apply for FEMA
assistance.

This does not mean you should delay applying – the sooner you apply,
the sooner FEMA can process your claim.

If you had storm-caused expenses and live or own a business in
Caledonia, Chittenden, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington,
Windham or Windsor counties, FEMA assistance can provide grants and
U.S. Small Business Administration loans to help you cover temporary
housing, home repairs and other disaster-related needs.

To apply, visit DisasterAssistance.gov
[http://www.disasterassistance.gov], download the FEMA App
[https://www.fema.gov/about/news-multimedia/mobile-products] or call
the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. 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.

To apply in person, visit a Disaster Recovery Center, where FEMA and
SBA specialists can answer questions, help upload documents and refer
you to available resources. Centers are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday (closed Sundays) at:
