Friend, 

 

Many people and communities in our state have faced tremendous devastation from the storms and floods we’ve seen this week. Recovery efforts with state and federal resources are now building up to full swing, and it has been heartening to see individuals and communities come together to help those who have been the most affected. 

 

Here is a list of resources for those who are looking for ways to help or looking for help themselves. Please share this list widely by forwarding this email or sharing the resources page on my website.

Recovery Resources for Farmers 

 

If you know of other resources that we can add to this list, you can respond to this email and we will update the list on our website. We plan to find and add resources for those with mental health circumstances that have been created or exacerbated by this devastation as well. My thoughts are with those who have been affected by the storms. Stay safe, and please help out your fellow Vermonters if you have the means to. 

 

Lt. Governor David Zuckerman
