This notice extends from 12 noon on Jan. 14 through Wednesday, Jan. 19.

This protocol will provide information through mass communication on personal cold weather protection, contact information for longer term sheltering and warming center locations. For overnight and long-term sheltering, residents need to contact the 211 System by dialing 211. All warming centers will be posted and updated under the State of Connecticut WEBEOCC website.
