Today’s question is from Kate Phillips in East Montpelier: Here on the show you ask the questions - about Vermont, our region and its people - and we find the answers together. Josh: Welcome to Brave Little State, VPR’s people-powered journalism project. And she was like…another co-op? What gives? And her new electric company was… Washington Electric Co-op. Remember-she had just moved into her new house in Vermont. Then she got a notice from her new electric company. But she had never lived in a place where it was an option-let alone three options. She’d heard about them, and shopped at one or two here or there. Howard: Kate had never been a member of a food co-op before. Kate: “Just the fact that there are so many kinds right in that area is surprising to me.” Howard: Three food co-ops, within a short drive of her new place. And that’s, you know, three food co-ops within 10–15 minutes from my house.” Kate: “I live in East Montpelier and it would be perfectly reasonable for me to shop at either the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier, The Adamant Co-op, or the Plainfield Food Co-op. Howard: You know, when you move to a new place, one of the first things you do is check out where you’re gonna buy your groceries? Kate started doing some research. And, we liked the scale of things, needed a big change at the time, and it worked out really well.” Kate: “We’d come up to Vermont several years in a row on vacation and always just felt really at home. She came from New Haven, Connecticut a few months before COVID-19 hit. Howard: Kate moved up to Vermont with her partner about three years ago. Kate works at the Vermont Historical Society in Barre, and so I drove up to talk to her. Howard: Kate Phillips, the question-asker this month is a librarian. Josh: So about every month a different VPR reporter gets to work on Brave Little State, and for this episode, Howard, who is usually VPR’s southern Vermont reporter, is taking the wheel. Howard Weiss-Tisman: And I’m Howard Weiss-Tisman.

Heat risk estimates are based on the typical number of extremely hot days that you can expect in the future. This information is specific to each watershed, or drainage basin, and takes into account both the projected supply of water, projected demand due to population growth and water use, and features of the watershed, such as soil properties and land cover. An extremely wet event for your area experiences an amount of precipitation over 48 hours that normally happens only 8 times during the 1981-2005 baseline period.ĭrought risk is based on water supply stress, which estimates how much of the available water in a location will be used by human activity, like watering the lawn. Your storm risk rating is based on both of these dynamics: the typical number of extremely wet or snowy events and the amount of rain or snow that will fall during those storms. Ratings are based on projected 2050 risk and the change from historical risk.Ī rating of 1 represents the lowest risk 100 is the highest.Ĭlimate models project that both the frequency and amount of precipitation are likely to increase throughout most of the US.
