After 10 months of recovery, how are our communities doing? What resources are serving us well? What opportunities are opening up? A panel of local, state, and federal leaders dealing with the daily ins and outs of Flood Recovery in Vermont help us reflect on what we’ve been able to accomplish, what best practices and resources we can draw on at this point, and what the next phase of recovery and rebuilding may look like.

Panelists include: Pat Moulton, Central Vermont Recovery Officer, State of Vermont; Eric Peterson, Program Manager, Disaster Case Management Program, Capstone Community Action; Sarah Henshaw, Lamoille Area Recovery Network (LeARN); Julie Hance, Chester Town Manager; and, Bonnie Waninger Federal Funding Assistance Program Specialist, Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
