Stay Informed Connecticut
For Connecticut State Emergencies you can Stay Informed by signing up for the CT Alert ENS (Emergency Notification System).

CT Alert ENS
The CT Alert ENS uses the Connecticut'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). The CT Alert Network 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.
