Today, I spoke with @GovPhilScott, @SenSanders, and @FEMA_Deanne to reiterate my commitment to getting Vermont the federal assistance it needs to respond to severe floods.
Additionally, we have approved an Emergency Declaration, will continue coordinating with officials on the ground, and mobilized FEMA and other federal personnel to provide swift support.
Students at IAA enjoying the VT elementary school rite of passage that is song writing & performing with Jon Gailmor. As a family that had Dirt! on vinyl growing up, lots of joy seeing my own kids experience the passion of this artist who is now a VT institution. #BTV – at Burlington, VT
