All Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster recovery centers in Vermont will be closed on Tuesday, November 5, the day of the general election.
The three Green Mountain State Disaster Recovery Centers – established to help Vermonters affected by the July 11-13 and July 29-31 storms and flooding – are located at Hinesburg City Hall, the Public Safety Facility in Lyndon and the Newport Municipal Building.
The Hinesburg location, which is being used as a polling station, will also be closed on November 4 to prepare for the election.
The Newport and Lyndon sites are scheduled to reopen Nov. 6, while the Hinesburg location will reopen the next day to give officials time to transition the site back to a disaster recovery center.
Regular business hours for all three recovery centers are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
