She said numerous water rescues are ongoing in Lamoille County, the hardest-hit area. There, emergency responders rescued 32 people and numerous animals overnight, she said.
President Biden issued an emergency declaration for Vermont on Tuesday, and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said damage assessments are underway.
