“Some of the places impacted by July are currently experiencing flooding once again so for them this is July,” said Scott.

At the time of the press conference that began at 5 p.m., they reported that 34 roads were either closed or partially closed.

They made at least five water rescues.

While the full scope of the damage won’t be seen until Tuesday morning, the severity of the reports they received about buildings is of basements being flooded.

Scott plans to talk with FEMA Tuesday before they move forward with an official recovery plan.

“It’s just too early,” said Scott. “I’m sure there will be discussion about the extent of the damage and then we’ll go from there. Right now though it’s about life and safety. “

To help those in the short term, a regional shelter has been set up by the American Red Cross inside the Barre Auditorium.

Red Cross officials said people were waiting outside before they even opened their doors. More than two dozen people showed up within the first hour of opening.

They said they’ll continue to stay open as long as they’re told by the state.

Eric Forand, Vermont Emergency Management Director, echoed that state officials will also be there to help if the need is there. They can work to more shelters available.

“The requests are coming from local municipalities, and they are going to try and set up shelters locally for their short-term. If they go beyond capacity or need extra resources, they’ll reach out to us,” said Forand.

Scott acknowledged while it may feel like da ja vu for many, he and his team will continue to work around the clock, to make sure all Vermonters get the assistance they need to bounce back.

“We’re not going to leave anyone behind. We’ll make sure to assist them in recovery,” said Scott. “Vermonters are tough. It’s part of our DNA. I’m confident, regardless of what happens, that we’ll get through this together.”

State officials want to reiterate that if you are in need of emergency help, call 9-1-1.

If you need shelter, call 2-1-1.
