Vermont Business Magazine Today is the final day for Vermont residents affected by July’s severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides to apply for FEMA assistance.
The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. tonight, October 31.
If you had storm-related expenses and live or own a business in Caledonia, Chittenden, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington, Windham or Windsor County, FEMA assistance can provide grants and U.S. Small Business Administration loans to help cover housing, home repairs and other disaster-related needs.
To apply, visit DisasterAssistance.gov, download the FEMA App or call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362. If you use a relay service such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, give FEMA your number for that service when you apply.
To apply in person, visit the Disaster Recovery Center in Barre, where FEMA specialists can answer questions, help upload documents and refer you to resources. The center is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is closed Saturday and Sunday. It is located at:
Alumni Hall Building, Third Floor
16 Auditorium Hill
Barre, VT 05641
The center will close permanently at 6 p.m., Thursday, November 9.
