The long hurricane season began June 1 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.
The Atlantic hurricane season ends on Nov. 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.
