Vermont Alert

VT-ALERT is the state system that notifies Vermonters of emergency situations, weather alerts, road information, and more.  Register for a free account at www.vtalert.gov. In the event of an emergency, the Town will utilize VT Alert to provide you with important information. 

VERMONT 211

Vermont 211 is a great way to find information everyday, and is also helpful in an emergency. Visit https://vermont211.org/ or dial 211 from any phone and an operator will assist you. If Royalton has opened their emergency shelter, 211 will be aware of the availability.
