NOTE: The Flood Recovery Check-in on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, has been canceled. We will resume our regular monthly sessions on June 18, 2024.

Registering once for this check-in will sign you up for all future occurrences.

Several Vermont municipalities are still recovering from the two major flood events in the summer of 2023. This work can take a long time to complete, and the funding needed to pay for it can be challenging to manage. In response to this, VLCT is holding a series of recurring meetings to support the municipal officials who are dealing with it. Each month, VLCT’s Federal Funding Assistance Program team hosts staff from Vermont Emergency Management (VEM), FEMA, and Vermont’s Flood Recovery Office to share information, discuss timely topics, and conduct a Q&A to help smooth the path to flood recovery, mitigation, and resilience.

Attendees Will

• hear important updates about FEMA’s Public Assistance Program;
• get information directly from FEMA and state officials;
• learn details about other programs and opportunities that could benefit your town relative to flood recovery, mitigation, and resilience; and
• discover tips, best practices, and resources that can help you navigate projects involving FEMA funding.

Recurring Speakers

• Eric Forand, Director, VEM
• Ben Rose, Alternate State Coordinating Officer, DR-4720-VT, Recovery and Mitigation Section Chief, VEM
• William (Will) F. Roy, Federal Coordinating Officer, Field Leadership Cadre, FEMA Region 1
• Douglas R. Farnham, Chief Recovery Officer, State of Vermont
• Pat Moulton, Recovery Officer, Central Vermont
