1 Emergency past events and required construction
Vermont has had a run of federal flood declarations. The Winooski River crested at 21 feet in Montpelier in July 2023, and a major disaster declaration was approved on July 14, 2023. In 2024 the president approved a declaration on August 20 for July 9 to 11 flooding in Addison, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Lamoille, Orleans and Washington counties, and another in late September for July 29 to 31 flooding in Caledonia, Essex and Orleans, which the governor called the third declaration in just over a month and the seventh in 14 months. A declaration for the December 18 and 19, 2023 storms covers seven more counties. In July 2025 the governor asked for another declaration for Caledonia and Essex counties, though we could not confirm the outcome. Floods leave households without hot water and take restrooms and kitchens offline at schools and shelters. A six-stall luxury combination trailer gives displaced families and crews private suites on the pad, and a refrigeration trailer protects food when power fails.
