Vermont Flood Alert: Rescue Teams Ready | Montpelier News

Vermont braces for dangerous flooding as heavy rain pounds the southeast and eastern Green Mountains overnight, with flash floods looming. Two swiftwater rescue squads — stationed in Ludlow and Wilmington — are on standby, ready to respond quickly, especially since Ludlow suffered major flooding last July. These teams, trained for structural and rope rescues, prioritize water rescues and can assist neighboring states if needed. Officials warn: never drive through flooded roads — report any flooding to local emergency services immediately. Meanwhile, New York’s Capital Region faces its own crisis, with roads underwater near Albany and states of emergency declared in Greene and Columbia Counties.
