MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – With less than a week left to apply for federal assistance, FEMA is encouraging anyone who sustained damage from this past summer’s flooding to get an application in.
FEMA officials on Wednesday said that even for those who don’t have repair estimates or insurance settlements yet, anyone who incurred any loss or damage from the two designated events in July should apply by the November 25 deadline for consideration.
“Based upon the size and scope of the July 2023 storms, 195 communities and state entities are applicants in this disaster, which has an estimated cost in excess of $600 million,” said FEMA’s William Roy.
At the same time, he says officials continue to process 2023 claims, which comes to about $40 million in individual assistance payments.
Two Disaster Recovery Centers are still open in Hinesburg and Lyndonville.
