⚠️This Tuesday!!! Please see below ⚠️

📱 IMPORTANT: Millstone Emergency Alert Information Session
Beginning October 1, emergency alerts from Millstone Nuclear Power Station will be sent directly to mobile phones within the Emergency Planning Zone.

This is an important change to how residents will receive emergency information during an incident. We strongly encourage residents to attend this upcoming Public Information Session to learn how the new system works, what to expect, and how it fits into the existing emergency notification system.

📅 Tuesday, September 29, 2026
🕖 6:00 PM
📍 East Lyme Town Hall

Representatives from Millstone Nuclear Power Station, and Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security will be available to explain the system and answer questions.

Take the time to learn about the system before it goes into effect on October 1. Knowing how you will receive emergency information—and what to do when you receive it—is an important part of being prepared.

Please plan to attend and share this information with your family, friends, and neighbors.

Did you have any damage related to the September 13th rain and flood? If so, please scan this code and take the survey. This survey aims to help state and local emergency management officials across Connecticut identify and understand damages that have occurred during recent natural disaster activity. This is an information gathering survey only. The information you report will be used to determine if the State of Connecticut is eligible for any post disaster programs through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and/or the Small Business Administration (SBA).

Submitting a report does not guarantee assistance, but it ensures impacts and needs are documented. Residents with life-safety emergencies should call 911; residents needing immediate non-emergency assistance should continue to use available local resources and 211.

With heavy rain and flooding affecting portions of our community we want to remind everyone of a serious but often overlooked danger:

Please keep children—and adults—out of floodwater.
Floodwater can contain far more than rainwater. It may be contaminated with:
• Raw sewage and wastewater
• Human and animal f***s
• Bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens
• Household chemicals and hazardous substances
• Oil, gasoline, and other pollutants
• Sharp objects, broken glass, and other debris
• Hidden hazards such as open drains, submerged obstacles, and electrical dangers
You cannot determine whether floodwater is safe simply by looking at it. Even water that appears clean may be contaminated.

Allowing children to play, swim, wade, or splash in floodwater can expose them to serious illness, injury, and potentially life-threatening hazards. Children are especially vulnerable because they may accidentally swallow the water or have cuts and scrapes that allow contaminants to enter the body.

Please keep children away from flooded streets, yards, drainage areas, streams, and other standing or moving water until the area has been determined to be safe.

Turn around. Don’t drown. And keep children out of floodwater.

A few minutes of fun is not worth the risk of exposure to sewage, dangerous bacteria, chemicals, hidden debris, or electrical hazards.

When it comes to floodwater, if you don't know what's in it, assume it's contaminated.
Please share this message with your family, friends, and neighbors
