Vermont governor urges residents to report flood damage to the state for FEMA determination
Vermont’s governor on Tuesday urged residents to report any damage from last week’s flooding to the state, even if they plan to do repairs themselves, so that counties can meet the threshold for individual federal assistance. The flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl damaged homes, knocked out bridges, caused landslides and washed out roads, leaving some people stranded. It happened a year to the day of last July’s catastrophic flooding that left some victims still awaiting home buyouts or repairs. Two people were killed by last week’s flooding, including a motorist in Lyndonville and a man who was riding an all-terrain vehicle in Peacham, authorities said. On Tuesday, a state official warned that severe thunderstorms could hit some of the flood-ravaged parts of the state in the afternoon and evening and bring high winds, limited flash flooding and power outages. “Vermont’s large rivers are still high but the predicted rainfall is not expected to cause them to exceed their banks or cause widespread flooding,” said Daniel Batsie, deputy public safety commissioner.
