The long hurricane season began June 1st and is expected to be an active one. Connecticut has largely been spared from major hurricanes in recent years – for that we are thankful – but residents should always be prepared, especially with Elsa coming our way.
The Atlantic hurricane season ends on November 30 – with mid-August to mid-October the period when Connecticut historically faces threats from hurricanes and tropical storms. These storms are unpredictable and that's why you should always be prepared and have a plan of action in the event of a serious weather event.
The Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security website contains useful resources to help you stay informed, prepare, and stay safe during many emergencies. |

| Make sure you have an emergency supply kit, an evacuation plan, and a plan to safeguard your home and possessions, so you, your family and pets are safe during hurricane season.
