One of the responses related to destruction caused by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene in this region was the development of a Vermont website designed to help connect persons in need with persons able to provide assistance. Although it had a grassroots beginning, the website, #VTResponse, rapidly grew, and was able to facilitate a number of helpful connections.
The founders of this effort, Matt Sisto and Katy Kent (of Reality VC), have started the process of making this networking tool available in each of the states.
