Information on reporting damage to your Business

Assess  & Report Damage To Your Business

  • The State is requesting all businesses report damage using this form. For support call “211” and select Ext. 5: Community Resources or text “898211” between 8 AM – 10 PM. (The more damage that is reported the more money, people power, equipment and supplies Vermont – its businesses and residents – will get for recovery.)
  • To assess your damage and prepare for assistance, the Vermont Small Business Development Center has created a quick checklist:
    • As much as you want to check on the situation, do not enter your location if there is flooding. (Do take pictures and videos from a safe distance, including high water marks).
    • Call your local insurance agent. Do exactly as they direct.
    • Begin DOCUMENTATION related to step #2:
      • Take pictures of everything you do from this point forward.
      • Keep a running narrative of every action you take.
      • Begin to estimate the cost of the damage. (Make a list of damaged or lost items and, if possible, include the date of purchase, value, and receipts.)
      • Keep all of your financial data up to date and backed up.
  • The Vermont Small Business Development Center has also produced a go-to Disaster Recovery Guide for Businesses, which provides step-by-step guidance for small business owners and employees after a natural disaster. (If you’re feeling overwhelmed and struggling to focus/prioritize, this can be a very helpful resource.)

Swinging Bridge in Town- CLOSED

Pedestrian Bridge off Main Street is temporarily closed.

Due to a problem with one of the support cables on the bridge, it is temporarily closed until such time as repairs can be completed.  For anyone parking at the Daniel’s parking lot, near the bridge area, that area is still open.  To walk to Main Street given the closure, proceed north on Daniels Avenue, to Brush Street, and then right onto Highland Avenue to the intersection with North Main Street.  

 Repairs to the bridge are in the process of being coordinated and an update will be provided when more details are known.
