Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott today marked the one-year anniversary since the opening of the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). The SEOC was activated by Governor Scott on March 10, 2020 and opened on March 11, 2020 to support the work of the Vermont Department of Health and expand the capacity of state government to coordinate the COVID-19 response. The Health Department opened its Health Operations Center on February 3, 2020.
Since its opening one year ago, more than 200 individuals from more than two dozen state and partner agencies have worked directly in the SEOC to assist Vermont’s leading pandemic response. This group worked in partnership with another 370 individuals through the Department of Health, and numerous other state employees supporting the response across state government, as well as members of the Vermont National Guard.

We wouldn t, of course, which is why Vermont has been a leader in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic since it first reared its ugly head at the beginning of the year 2020. Governor Phil Scott proclaimed a State of Emergency on March 13, 2020.
