Vermont disaster recovery centers to close temporarily on election day
All Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Recovery Centers in Vermont will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 5, the day of the general election.
The Green Mountain State’s three disaster recovery centers − set up to assist Vermonters impacted by the storms and floods on July 11-13 and July 29-31 − are located in the Hinesburg Town Hall, Lyndon Public Safety Facility and the Newport Municipal Building.
The Hinesburg site, which is used as a polling station, will also be closed on Nov. 4 to prepare for the election.
The Newport and Lyndon sites are slated to reopen on Nov. 6, while the Hinesburg location will reopen the following day to give employees time to transition the site back to a disaster recovery center.
Regular hours of operation for all three recovery centers are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
