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 also encouraged to register for a Vermont Alert (VT-ALERT) account to help keep you up to date on emergency situations in your area.
This website and the Emergency Information Phone Line will be updated if weather information changes.

Please be aware that weather conditions will be monitored closely and this website and the Emergency Information Phone Line (800) 644-4402 will be updated as information changes. Additionally, the television and radio stations list below will be notified.
Real-Time Notifications
DHR has partnered with VT-Alert to create real-time alerts for state employees and the public if necessary. In these situations, all executive branch employees will receive alerts to their state email. Both the state employees and the public can sign up with VT-Alert to receive alerts to a personal email or phone number (with an option for voice and/or text notifications).
