VT Emergency Management is evaluating the reports and providing assistance where needed.
Emergency Management in Thetford is managed by the Emergency Management Director and a group of dedicated volunteers. The Emergency Management Director is appointed by the Selectboard and is responsible for serving the community by directing and coordinating emergency management to prevent/mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters.
Emergencies and disasters can happen anytime: with or without warning; man-made or natural; affecting few or large numbers of people; cover a wide area or be very localized; severe, life-threatening to many or inconveniencing only a few; long-lived or of short duration. Preparing in advance for the unexpected makes sense.
