Flooding Updates and Resources

Please see the following information shared by Rep. Labriola in regards to recent flooding:  

As you have likely seen by now, Naugatuck, Oxford and Southbury, as well as surrounding towns, were impacted by at least 8 inches of rain that fell within a short amount of time.

Tragically, two Oxford residents were reported missing in the flood waters and have been found deceased. Please keep them, their families and our first responders in your thoughts, as they are continuing to work tirelessly.

Several areas of the towns, including minor and major roads, are flooded and washed out. As a reminder, please do not drive through standing water, be aware of signs and cones and be patient as damage assessments and repairs are made, it will take time to restore our infrastructure.

We have been in touch with the Governor’s office about next steps as we navigate this event and we held a press conference, which you can also view below:
