## Resource

Vermonters are still reeling from catastrophic July 2023 floods that forced shelters to improvise with water-level rulers and even lost vans during evacuations. In Barre, residents gathered to share stories as Washington County became the U.S. leader in federal disaster declarations over the past decade. Advocates pushed for a law holding fossil fuel companies accountable for climate-driven disasters, while many locals lament the politicized and insufficient federal aid process. With over 100 flood-damaged properties still waiting for FEMA buyouts and critical infrastructure repairs stalled, towns like Plainfield face long-term economic decline. Doctors report clinic isolation, and survivors like Corinne Cooper describe lingering trauma — a reminder that recovery isn’t just physical, it’s emotional and enduring.
