Connecticut just completed a statewide emergency preparedness exercise that allowed the state, local municipalities, utility companies and the private sector to enhance readiness and disaster preparedness, including mass care planning, in advance of the Connecticut’s hurricane season. The exercise, which simulated a Category 1 hurricane, took place on Saturday, June 21 and Monday, June 23.

Gov. Malloy's office issued a press release about the 2-day exercise, and the Governor's remarks are available on CT-N News.

Physicians can find additional disaster preparedness information on the CSMS website.
