Greetings!
All of Connecticut is currently under a Winter Storm Warning. Based on the present forecast, we will be impacted by a significant winter storm over the next 12-18 hours.

From 6-10 inches of snow is expected across the entire state with Southeastern Connecticut likely to go into double digits. Strong winds and dangerously cold wind chills are also expected.

I am raising the CT ARES activation status to Level 1 Alert effective at 1600 (4:00 PM) EST today, Tuesday, 21 January 2014.

Please maintain good situational awareness as this storm develops by watching/listening to your preferred weather forecast sources.
Please be prepared to assist our Served Agencies (if requested) by ensuring your radio batteries are charged, vehicles and generators are fueled, etc.

The safety of you and your family should be your highest priority! Now is the time to make preparations to keep your family safe should you be asked to deploy.

I anticipate raising the activation status to Level 2 Standby later this evening. Remember, you should NOT deploy without direction from the appropriate ARES or local official.

Note: issues with the Discussion email reflector persist.
District Emergency Coordinators will need to forward this email to their respective membership lists.
