H.467 is a bill that aims to enhance flood response and resilience in Vermont by requiring the Agency of Transportation to allocate funding to rural and flood-prone municipalities for infrastructure upgrades. This includes improvements to roads, bridges, culverts, gravel roads, and emergency access routes. Additionally, the bill mandates the Agency to design and implement upgrades to stormwater management systems, such as larger culverts and reinforced drainage systems, to better handle severe weather events.

Furthermore, the bill calls for the development of a statewide asset management system to monitor the availability of flood response equipment, trained personnel, and critical resource locations. It also proposes the procurement of State-funded regional fleets of vacuum trucks and heavy-duty equipment to assist municipalities with debris removal and maintenance of flood mitigation systems. Lastly, the bill seeks to improve transparency and communication regarding the Agency's prioritization of flood recovery and infrastructure projects.
