The state launches 80th no-cost website, helps
prepare citizens in case of a flood disaster
Vermont Information Consortium (VIC), the eGovernment partner
for the State of Vermont, announced this week the launch of their
80th no-cost website for the state: www.floodready.vermont.gov. A
joint effort between VIC, the state’s Agency of Natural Resources,
and the Department of Innovation and Information, the website is
hosted in VIC’s content management system, which also hosts 79
other state government websites, including those for the
Departments of Motor Vehicles, Human Resources, Children &
Families, and the Governor.
“We are excited about the launch of this valuable public service
website and reaching the important milestone of 80 government
websites launched through our partnership with the state,” said
Jamie Gage, general manager of VIC. “Our goal is to continue to
work together with our partners to make government more accessible
and efficient for everyone.”
Built at no cost to the agency through VIC’s unique self-funded
model, the Flood Ready site provides one central online resource
for flood-related information, and guidance on what to do to better
prepare for natural disasters. Ever since Hurricane Irene in 2011,
town officials all over the state have worked with state government
leaders to increase the resilience of their communities, and the
new website is the culmination of that work. On the site,
Vermonters will also find tips for developing in safe places,
watershed protection and emergency guidance, comprehensive maps,
reporting tools, and funding resources tailored to Vermont town
officials.
“The new website is a treasure trove of information for Vermont
communities, showing how they can get a handle on their risks and
find funding to do good mitigation projects,” said David Mears,
commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation. “It
also features stories from communities that are protecting their
floodplains, because they know that protecting those natural assets
is by far the most inexpensive and effective way to manage their
risks.”
