Summary
Floods in Vermont have left communities reeling, with FEMA’s help arriving too late for long-term recovery—like home buyouts and infrastructure fixes—that’s bogged down in endless paperwork and bureaucratic delays. Residents like Katie Swick are stuck in a cycle of stress and frustration, while towns in the Northeast Kingdom last year had to rely on state funds after FEMA fell short. The human toll is immense: disaster survivors are already traumatized, and now they’re facing another kind of crisis—navigating a broken system. Senator Peter Welch is pushing for reform, rallying bipartisan support to give local leaders more control over recovery funds. The goal? To turn disaster recovery into a smoother, more effective process that actually rebuilds communities—so when the next storm hits, the path to healing is clear and compassionate.
