Vermont Arts Council Our thoughts are with everyone experiencing flooding in Vermont this week, and we hope that you are staying safe. Severe weather and devastation is not how anyone expected to mark the one-year anniversary of 2023’s flooding.
We know that this has impacted Vermont’s creative sector, especially during the busy summer performance and events season. As co-leads of the Vermont Arts & Culture Disaster and Resilience Network (VACDaRN), we are working closely with the Vermont Historical Records Program and the rest of the Steering Team to compile resources and share updates as we recover together.
Report Damages to VACDaRN: When it’s safe to do so, please report the impact of the July 2024 rain/flooding event using this form. We’ll be using this information to assess needs for on-site help, as well as share the impact of this event on the cultural sector with state agencies and others.
Report Damages to Vermont 211: All residents, businesses and organizations are asked to report their damage to Vermont 211. Use the resident form or the business form.
Additional Resources: We are compiling flood resources on our website and will continue to keep information up-to-date as new resources become available.
Take Care of Yourself and Your Community! We have, unfortunately, all been through this before, and we know how hard this is. Please check in with loved ones, neighbors, and others in the arts community to see how they’re doing, and give yourself the grace and space to process what we’re experiencing. We are in this together.
