The Connecticut Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) is closely monitoring the storm and is participating in National Weather Service conference calls to get the latest information on the storm’s track and to send out updates to all municipalities and tribal nations.

During this storm, I encourage you all to sign up for Connecticut’s Emergency Alerting and notification system.

CT Alert ENS (Emergency Notification System)

The CT Alert ENS uses the state’s Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) database for location-based notifications to the public for life-threatening emergencies.  But the E9-1-1 database includes only traditional wire-line telephone numbers in the state (the “land line” phone you may have in your home).

CT Alert ENS Citizen Sign-up Page

The CT Alert ENS allows you to add other means of communication to the CT Alert ENS, in addition to your current home phone “land line” if you have one.

Please stay safe during the storm.
