"Vermont's Recovery from Historic Floods Bolstered by Volunteer Army"

Vermont is beginning the long road to recovery after historic floods caused by heavy rainfall. The flooding, which has been described as the state's worst natural disaster since 1927, has resulted in one death and significant damage to crops and infrastructure. The Marshfield Village Store has transformed into a distribution center for supplies, while volunteers from both within and outside the state are offering assistance. More rain is expected, raising concerns about landslides. Vermont Governor Phil Scott has requested federal support and a disaster designation for the state. Assessments are underway to determine the extent of the damage and who qualifies for government assistance.
