DHR coordinates with the Agency of Administration and the Governor to determine if emergency closing or delays are necessary. In the case of such a decision, DHR will update the Current Operating Status found below, the Emergency Phone Line (800-644-4402), local television and radio stations (listed below), and VT-Alert.
Operating Status: Open
All State offices are open for business during their regularly scheduled hours. However, as winter weather is not always predictable you are encouraged to allow additional time for travel and exercise caution as you travel to and from work.
Everyone is encouraged to check the 511 website 511 Website for the most up to date information on road conditions and route selection and register for a Vermont Alert (VT-ALERT) account to help keep you up to date on emergency situations in your area.
Employees who are not able to report to work due to weather or other emergency conditions should contact their Supervisor for further instructions.
This website and the Emergency Information Phone Line will be updated if weather information changes.
