Recovering

Homes and Small Businesses

Contact your insurance company and report any damage you have sustained to Vermont 211 by calling 2-1-1 or visiting the website and filling out the residential damage form and/or the business damage form.
- This is a crucial step even if the damage is minimal, cumulative reported damage may meet thresholds that will bring more assistance to Vermont.
In addition to reporting damage to 211, you must also report your damage to disasterassistance.gov/ to receive assitance. The deadline to apply for those impacted by the flooding on July 9-11 is October 21, 2024. You can also apply through the FEMA mobile app or by calling the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362.
FEMA has now opened up Disaster Recovery Centers at Barre Municipal Auditorium, Brighton Town Hall Gym, Goddard College, Lyndon Public Safety Facility, and Waterbury Armory. Addresses and hours can be found here.

Farms

Document damage to your farm from including date stamped photos, estimated crop loss, and infrastructure damage.
Report damage, including any damage to your home, on the Vermont 211 website or call 2-1-1. Note that there are different forms to complete for “personal” and for “business” damage. You should ALSO fill out the survey from the state of Vermont.
Contact your county USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Service Center to determine which federal agricultural disaster programs you may qualify for and submit relevant documentation.
Prepare to share information about your losses and damages in the Vermont Agency of Agriculture 2024 Flooding Loss & Damage Survey.
