Recovering from Flooding
Last weekend we experienced devastating flooding in Western Connecticut that left businesses destroyed, infrastructure damaged, and two lives tragically lost. I hope that you and your loved ones did not experience the worst of this storm. Today, I want to give you updates on our recovery efforts.
Earlier this week, President Biden approved Governor Lamont's emergency declaration for this extreme flooding, guaranteeing access to personnel and equipment from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The state is also working with local governments, businesses, and individuals to assess the damage and calculate whether the damage threshold qualifies for a major disaster declaration from the federal government, which could provide funding to rebuild and repair damage to public and uninsured private property.
Team Inc. is collecting donations for disaster relief. If you're able, please consider donating here. Please ensure your gift is going to "August 18th FLOOD RELIEF."
Finally, I want to send my best to all of those impacted by these devastating floods, in particular the families of those who lost their lives. Thank you to all of the brave first responders, volunteers, and civilians who took it upon themselves to help their neighbors when they needed it most. Your courage and dedication to your community helped prevent a disastrous storm from causing even more damage. |

Funding for ISAAC
I was so proud to see the final approval of $1.4 million to expand the Interdistrict School for Arts and Communication (ISAAC) to over 50 fourth- and fifth-graders. Expanding the school to younger students will be critical to fostering a good education for them, and I can't wait to see the results! |
