HURRICANE RELIEF SUCCESS

6-Months Post Hurricane Irene Hits Vermont

Our Southern Vermont community was the epicenter for Hurricane Irene, leaving behind scenes of a post apocalyptic disaster.  Families watched their homes float down river, businesses were damaged leaving many faced with no home, no business, no land, yet mortgages and the burden of expenses.

Shortly after Irene, the Stratton Foundation began receiving donations from generous donors. Our team worked to maximize FEMA dollars and helped many people apply for and appeal their FEMA paperwork, as well as, aided with flood and homeowner insurance problems. After these funds were tapped, unmet needs were then assessed.

We developed a successful comprehensive quick-response strategy for addressing our area’s requirements, and word of the Foundation’s success spread throughout the state. Our team was asked to present their work to FEMA’s HQ and FEMA’s Long-term Recovery Committees.  We reached out to over 350 people who filed FEMA claims. Those who were in need of more assistance were very grateful for our support. Dozens of people received resource guidance, clothing, food, appliances, cleanup assistance and money to offset costs of repairs. Many businesses received money for inventory and equipment losses.

We have raised over $400k to distribute to families and businesses who suffered great loss. We are very pleased to be part of Vermont’s recovery and feel that due to generous donors from all over the countryside, the people in the Stratton area were cared for in a manner which exceeded expectations and has become a model for the state.  Our community endured so much.
