St. Johnsbury Press Release as of July 31st at 5:30 pm


The St. Johnsbury Emergency Operations Center (EOC) has moved into its next emergency response phase. Clear objectives for the day have been defined, and roles and responsibilities have been assigned. Emergency Management Coordinator Chief Reed has captured these objectives on a standard ICS 202 form, which can be viewed on the Town website at www.stjvt.com.

 

St. Johnsbury's Department of Public Works continues to work to repair roads, with a priority on damages that have isolated residents from emergency vehicle access. Private construction crews have been hired to assist the St. Johnsbury Public Works personnel in repairing and restoring town roads and infrastructure. In many cases, these roads allow only one traffic lane to service traffic in both directions. Please use caution when driving through these areas of town. Road updates are available on the Town website at www.stjvt.com under 'Announcements'.

 

The St. Johnsbury Transfer Station at 548 High Street is closed indefinitely due to flood damage. The Town will deploy dumpsters tomorrow morning at 174 Cliff Street and 852 Portland Street for residents affected by the flooding to access. Please DO NOT dispose of metal or hazardous materials in these dumpsters. Tomorrow morning, town officials will work with consultants to develop a more comprehensive waste management plan.

 

Water Treatment Plant: A lightning strike damaged the water treatment plant, which has been repaired and is fully operational.

 

Evacuation Shelter: The Red Cross deployed personnel to St. Johnsbury to open the emergency evacuation shelter in the Good Shepard School, located at 121 Maple Street, St. Johnsbury, VT. The shelter provides emergency cleanup kits, food, water, and blankets. The Red Cross shelter is on stand-by to provide overnight shelter for those displaced by the flooding. Please call the Red Cross at (571) 247-2050 or (574) 376-5703 for shelter information.
