Disaster Recovery Website for Connecticut is Launched
Governor Malloy has announced the launch of a new disaster recovery website: CTrecovers.ct.gov. The site will serve as a one-stop portal for Connecticut residents, businesses and municipalities to gain information about resources such as federal and state disaster recovery grants. Connecticut residents can also obtain timely information on hot weather, cooling centers, cold weather shelters, mass care shelters, and other disaster-related resources by going to www.211ct.org or by dialing 2-1-1 when an emergency occurs. |
