What is CT ALERT?
On September 1, 2009, Connecticut became the first state in the nation to have a statewide emergency notification system. CT Alert ENS allows state and local officials to help protect lives and property by providing critical information to residents during emergencies, including dangerous situations. CT Alert ENS is managed by the State Departments of Public Safety and Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
REGISTER NOW: CT ALERT allows you to add other means of communication to the CT Alert ENS, in addition to your current home phone –also known as a "land line" –if you have one. You can add mobile phones, Voice over IP landlines, wireless personal digital assistants, such as BlackBerry®, email, text messaging, and/or instant messaging to be included to receive alerts from CT Alert ENS. You are responsible for any costs associated with your receipt of any emergency notification. Go to CT ALERT Emergency Notification System (ENS) now for more information and to register today.

Governor Rell is urging Connecticut residents to limit their water usage and to be careful while the state’s fire danger remains high.
"These water conservation measures should also be heeded by people with private wells as well – no water supply is inexhaustible," the Governor said. "At the same time, the dry weather increases the risk of brush, grass and forest fires. Careless smoking, improper burning and other fire risks must be eliminated."
For more information on water conservation and the Drought Work Group, visit www.ct.gov/waterstatus.
