REGION I – Vermont’s Department of Public Safety will receive
$1,115,736 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
state management costs as a result of the major disaster declaration
for Vermont’s COVID-19 Pandemic.  

This grant is funded through FEMA’s Public Assistance Grant program
which reimburses communities for actions taken in the immediate
response and during recovery from a disaster. Eligible applicants
include states, federally recognized tribal governments, U.S.
territories, local governments, and certain private non-profit
organizations. The grant applications are submitted from the state,
which coordinates the process with local governments.

FEMA obligates funding for this project directly to the state of
Vermont.

To date, FEMA has obligated more than $13.6 million to Vermont under
the Public Assistance program.
