Vermont Faces New Flooding Amid Recovery Efforts

Vermont is grappling with more flooding one year after catastrophic events, with heavy rains from Hurricane Beryl again causing severe damage across the state. Communities in central to northern Vermont, including Barre and Montpelier, are heavily affected, with homes, farms, and infrastructure devastated. Residents like Jane Deschamps and Lisa Edson Neveu face the daunting task of repairing their flood-damaged homes yet again, while state officials continue rescue and recovery operations. Federal aid, including over $76 million from FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration, has been critical for ongoing recovery efforts. Meanwhile, local initiatives like Vermont Strong, led by Lawson’s Finest Liquids, have raised significant funds for flood relief. Officials urge Vermonters to remain cautious around floodwaters and continue to support each other during the recovery process.
