Biden declares emergency in Vermont over flooding.

President Biden Declares State of Emergency in Vermont

Severe flooding has unleashed chaos in Vermont, prompting President Joe Biden to take swift action. The storms have wreaked havoc across the Northeast, but Vermont has been hit particularly hard. Flash flooding, flight delays, and extensive damage have surpassed the levels witnessed during Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Even while attending the NATO Vilnius summit in Lithuania, President Biden recognized the urgency of the situation and declared a state of emergency. This move empowers the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate relief efforts aimed at alleviating the suffering and hardships faced by the local population.

Vermont Governor Phil Scott (R-VT) has issued a stern warning to residents, urging them to steer clear of waterways and remain vigilant throughout Monday night. The situation remains critical.

With over 6 million people in the northeastern U.S. under flood watches or warnings, the impact of these storms is widespread. New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine are among the hardest-hit areas.

The storms are expected to subside by Tuesday, bringing some relief to the affected regions.
