Local Flood Response and Recovery: Sharing Needs, Resources, and Plans for the Future 07/20/2023

From the Vermont Council on Rural Development:

As we come together in response to the devastating floods Vermont has experienced, it's important to connect with each other to understand and address the emerging needs in our communities and on our farms and landscape. It's also important to understand resources as they become available and connect to state, regional, and federal partners to move forward together. This session brings together community members and response and recovery leaders to share the needs and challenges that are emerging, early resources that may be helpful, and examples of what is working in their communities as they respond and recover. Panelists share their experiences and best practice suggestions and then we turn to participants to engage in a statewide discussion to identify current needs and pathways forward.

Guests include: Sarah Waring, USDA Rural Development Director for Vermont & New Hampshire Martha Dale, Londonderry Select Board Liz Gleason, Vermont Housing and Conservation Board Farm Viability Program Director Jason Van Driesche, Front Porch Forum Chief of Staff
