As you know Vermont is experiencing drought conditions across the State, see  Vermont | Drought.gov also see attached weather brief.  The State is collecting data on current conditions to assess how and if the State will be able to support those effected by the drought conditions.

If you are experiencing water supply issues, please submit them to the drought reporter. Drought Reporter Site,  It is a simple form to fill out to let the State know you are having issues. This  information is used to define current conditions and to see what support is needed.  Individuals can also be directed to drought.vermont.gov, this is a landing page for drought information and resources.

For current wildland fire conditions please see https://fpr.vermont.gov/forest/wildland-fire/monitoring-fire-danger . Individual town fire wardens are allowed to initiate burn bans if they feel it is necessary.

Several State Agencies, including VEM, Agriculture, Forest Parks and Recreation, and Department of Environmental Conservation are all posting to social media.  These are a great information source to check out.

The SEOC remains at Enhanced Operations to coordinate response and to facilitate the drought task force and the drought task force advisory committee.
