Since October, Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Entrepreneurial Legal Lab and Legal Services Vermont have been working in collaboration to assist Vermont business owners affected by the summer 2023 floods. As a result of high demand and ongoing community needs, they will continue to offer monthly clinics to assist Vermonters.
 

Individuals can come prepared to the clinic with the following items:

• Pictures of before and after the flood if accessible

• Receipts of repairs, replacement items and lodging if displaced from flooding

• Insurance information, including a reply or settlement from insurance after claim was submitted

• Household income information

• Any documents sent to or received from FEMA or the SBA

• Log-in information for FEMA Disaster Relief account (if you have one)
