Governor Peter Shumlin is reminding Vermonters impacted by Tropical Storm Irene of the state’s toll-free hotline offering advice and answers to questions involving insurance claims resulting from storm damage.
‘While the unseasonably warm weather has been a welcome reprieve for Vermonters recovering from flooding, concern about the approaching cold weather has triggered an increase in requests for help in resolving insurance and flood relief claims,’ the Governor said.
The Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities & Health Administration (BISHCA) has staff on hand to assist individuals with problems encountered getting assistance. BISHCA has received about 160 requests for information since the storm hit in late September.
BISHCA Commissioner Steve Kimbell is concerned that in the months since the flooding some Vermonters have forgotten where to go for information and advice.
‘We have been able to provide help in a quite a few cases to date, and we want to remind everyone we are still standing by to do whatever we can,’ Kimbell said.
Persons seeking assistance should contact:
Brenda Clark
Consumer Services Administrator
Vermont Insurance Department

802 828-1446 (fax)
800 964-1784 (toll free within the state of Vermont)
