    Connecticut DESPP Launches New Emergency Preparedness App

    Connecticut DESPP Launches New Emergency Preparedness App
    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    I am proud to share with you a new mobile app that has been launched to provide Connecticut residents with emergency alerts and other useful resources. The app, called CTPrepares, can be downloaded for FREE from the iTunes Apple Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android devices.

    The app allows residents to communicate with family members during an emergency and provides real-time notifications including emergency news, state office closings, public safety messages and up-to-the-minute information for residents. It also locates Connecticut Emergency Management contacts and provides emergency preparation guides.

    This is a wonderful tool that I recommend all my constituents have on hand in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary. It is always best to be as prepared as possible for the unexpected.

    For a guide on how to use the app, please click here to open a PDF instruction packet.
