Tropical Storm Wrap-up & Resources…

The tropical storms that hit Connecticut last month brought with them great amounts of damage to private property and businesses. The Dept. of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) continues to do its assessment of the storm damage. Should DEMHS successful petition the federal government into declaring an emergency, FEMA resources will be made readily available to our community.
In the event an emergency is declared federally for the State of Connecticut, you will be able to get more information from these resources:
