WASHINGTON (WCAX) – The president has approved requests for major disaster declarations in both Vermont and New Hampshire after severe storms wreaked havoc on the region in July.
President Joe Biden approved the requests from Vermont Gov. Phil Scott and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu.
The declaration in Vermont covers Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Lamoille, Orleans and Washington counties.
In New Hampshire, it includes Coos and Grafton counties.
The declaration will allow counties to receive federal funding to help them rebuild.
