Learn About Hazards
Be prepared for any type of hazard
in southern Vermont.
Southeastern Vermont is vulnerable to a number of hazards: some by virtue of its geographic location in the Northeast the Connecticut River watershed, others by its proximity to Interstate 91 and Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee; and still others by the circumstances of commerce and everyday living. Most hazards are weather. Some are predictable; others are not. Learning the different hazards that could happen here can help you to be better prepared to respond if and when they do.
