Flood Hazard Regulation Resources
Flooding is the most prevalent form of natural disaster in Vermont. In our region, floods have destroyed public and private property, damaged critical facilities, rendered roads and bridges impassable, and resulted in fatalities. While Vermont does regulate some larger developments, most of the power protecting the health, safety, and welfare of people is given to municipalities through statute. Your municipality is responsible for planning and regulating land and water to keep people and investments safe.
