Storm Recovery Updates

FEMA currently has 330 people on the ground in Vermont. These agents, along with U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), are doing home and business visits to support people affected by the storm. In addition, FEMA agents continue to assess damage to determine if additional counties will be added to the disaster declaration. To date, nearly 1,700 people have registered for individual assistance from FEMA to help repair their homes.

The SBA also continues to grow its presence in Vermont and plans to open additional Business Recovery Centers (BRCs) in the days ahead to provide business counseling on accessing disaster loans. Currently there are two BRCs open:

Windsor County

Engel & Völkers Okemo Building

126 Main Street in Ludlow

Monday - Sunday - 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

 

Visit disasterloanassistance.sba.gov/ela/s/ or call 1-800-659-2955 to learn more about these loans.
