storm report #2

Lots of storm related information is being shared between state legislators and Public Safety. Here is what came to me on Tuesday:
*Vermonters who have property damage should report it to the state by calling 211. This is extremely important because an accurate statewide inventory is critical to Vermont acquiring recovery aid.
* If repairs are made by a property owner, take before and after pictures.
* Individuals should call 211 to report any hurricane damage.
* Businesses should call the Agency of Commerce at 802-828-3211.
* Farmers should report damage to the county USDA Farm Service Agency or the county Conservation Services Office.
* Farmers ought to contact their crop insurance carrier for loss related to the hurricane.
* The Vermont Emergency Management website is located at http://vem.vermont.gov
* Central and southern areas of the state are experiencing the problem of fuel, gasoline and propane tanks floating in water or being displaced. This obviously is causing great concern. Contact the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association at 802-223-7750.
* For the latest information on road closures call 511 or go to http://www.511vt.com
