(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced the launch of a new emergency preparedness mobile application for Connecticut residents that provides information and alerts in emergency situation, and also helps residents prepare in advance of an emergency.
The “CT Prepares” app, which can be downloaded to most smartphones, incorporates and integrates text messaging, email, and social networking, allowing residents to communicate with family members during an emergency. Real-Time notifications including emergency news, state office closings, and public safety messages can be sent directly to the device, providing up-to-the-minute information for residents.
“We are constantly planning and constantly preparing to remain one step ahead of potential emergency situations. This is yet another tool in our goal to be as resilient as we can be as a state. As we have seen in past storms and emergency situations, communication is critical. The CT Prepares app will no doubt help us in that effort by providing residents with critical information during emergencies. I encourage residents to download this app to their mobile devices,” Governor Malloy said.
“With just a keystroke, anyone can download the CT Prepares app to their mobile devices and in a matter of a minute, be better prepared for any disaster or emergency they may face,” Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) Commissioner Dora Schriro said. “And that’s especially important as we approach the height of this year’s hurricane season in Connecticut.”
Other features of the app include:
The app can be downloaded for free from the iTunes Apple Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android devices by searching the keyword “CT Prepares.” It was developed jointly by DESPP and Connecticut Interactive.
#Westport Connecticut–The Town of Westport has been informed that the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT DOT) will close the section of North Compo Road (CT Rte. 136) between Main Street and Cross Highway commencing August 22, 2016. The replacement of the culvert beneath the roadway necessitates full closure of this portion of Compo Road North. The section of the road will be closed and detours will be in effect for approximately 30 days. Motorists are urged to use caution, seek alternate routes and allow additional time for travel in the area.
The overall construction and realignment of the problematic intersection at Main Street/CT Route 57 and Compo Road North/CT Rte. 136 at Clinton Avenue (State Project No. 158-201) is expected to be completed in the fall. First Selectman Jim Marpe said, “While I recognize that this road closure may create a short term inconvenience, this construction, along with the anticipated opening of both lanes of the North Avenue Bridge in late August, will provide longer term traffic improvements and increased safety on these critical Westport roads. I appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we work with the State DOT to complete these long-planned projects.”
