The Red Cross, FEMA, and other state agencies will be set up at Woodstock Union High School through Thursday of this week to help any Vermonter impacted by the flooding in the State of Vermont . Click this link to find out more about MARC centers. The hours are 9-5 pm in Woodstock.

Those needing FEMA assistance will need to bring their:

• Social Security Number

• Proof of address

  • IF your mailing address is different from the address where the damage occurred, please bring proof of both addresses;

  • IF you’re seeking assistance for your business, please bring proof of your business address.

• ID

• Type of insurance for the residence

• Phone number

• Amount of monthly income (proof of income is NOT needed)

FEMA will send an inspector to the residence 3 to 10 days after someone is registered for FEMA assistance. After the inspection, FEMA will determine next steps and share those with the applicant. They will receive communication from FEMA throughout the process.

At the Multi-Agency Resource Center at WUHS, there are also experts on health services (including mental health), and spiritual care. The Vermont Department of Health is providing water testing kits, and the Red Cross is also providing hot meals, among other resources.
