President Joe Biden on Tuesday approved Vermont’s request for a major disaster declaration for flooding caused by remnants of Hurricane Beryl in early July. The disaster declaration granted to Vermont on Tuesday is the state’s sixth in just over a year.
Debris is strewn about a damaged bridge over the Winooski River following flooding caused by the remnants of Hurricane Beryl, Thursday, July 11, 2024, in Plainfield, Vermont.
The major disaster declaration will allow homeowners and renters in Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Lamoille, Orleans and Washington counties to apply for help from FEMA. FEMA’s individual assistance program allows those impacted by disaster to receive partial reimbursement for expenses that aren’t covered by insurance or other forms of aid. Eligible expenses include rental assistance, home repair, home replacement, lodging and other expenses.
The declaration also includes funding to help cities and towns in the same seven counties repair public infrastructure damaged by the floods. FEMA’s public assistance program allows communities to receive 75% reimbursement for repairs to public infrastructure. Briefings for town officials will be scheduled and announced soon, the governor’s office said.
