Public Assistance
2024 Vermont Flooding
The Vermont Emergency Management (VEM) division of the Department of Public Safety, administers FEMA's Public Assistance program (PA) as the "Recipient" for the State of Vermont. Eligible "Applicants" for the Program, like Vermont's local governments and certain types of private non-profits, are considered "Subrecipients" once they are awarded PA funding. VEM is the sole authority and main point of contact for Vermont's Public Assistance Program.
