Vermont Public TV has a great website with information for farmers, businesses and individuals.

New “Windham County VT Status Updates” website with Post Irene road closures and more, http://windhamstatus.wordpress.com/

One last note, our own Shannon Albritton who is stranded in Marlboro, VT where the roads have all been washed out, has developed a Facebook page for that community.  Now residents can post their needs and offers to help each other.  In just the last few hours over 120 people have signed on.  I was noticing as I read through the postings that here, as in all the communities which were hardest hit, it's the generosity, kindness and perseverance of each other that's getting people through the disaster.
