Vermonters: Please join Sen. Welch, Rep. Balint, and me – along with state and federal officials, for a Telephone Town Meeting on the Flooding Emergency

Wednesday, July 26 at 7:30 P.M. 


Dear Fellow Vermonter,

This is an extremely difficult time. It is heartbreaking to know that thousands of our friends and neighbors have been impacted by last week’s disastrous flooding. We are also seeing terrible damage to our roads, bridges, homes, farms, and small businesses. I know this disaster has been especially challenging because flash flooding continued for days after the initial flooding.

Senator Welch, Representative Balint, and I want you know what federal resources are available and how to access them. Please join us on Wednesday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. for a statewide telephone town meeting to provide information on the assistance available to individuals, homeowners, farms, displaced employees, and small businesses. State and federal officials will be available to answer your questions.
