Friday, September 2 - 8:22 a.m. - Now that President Obama has signed a disaster declaration for the state of Vermont, here is an update on how you can find assistance resources throughout the state.

The 211 call service is not the same as FEMA’s number for registration for federal assistance. Those who have suffered damages and losses in Chittenden, Rutland, Washington and Windsor counties can register for disaster assistance by calling 800-621-3362 (FEMA).

For TTY call 800-462-7585.  If you have a speech disability or hearing loss and use a TTY, call 800-462-7585 directly; if you use 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS), call 800-621-3362.  Multilingual assistance is available.
