The City of Danbury has partnered with the American Red Cross to assess damage in our neighborhoods as a result of heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding on August 18, 2024. Red Cross officials and translators from the City of Danbury Department of Health & Human Services will be visiting our hardest hit communities throughout the weekend to help assess community needs. Additionally, the Red Cross will be distributing clean up kits and water at Danbury City Hall on Friday, August 23, 2024 from 11AM - 3PM.

For more information on resources that may be available, contact the Red Cross at 877-287-3327.

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Division of Emergency Management has created a self-reporting link for the public to report damages to homes and businesses. The portal will enable the state to gather comprehensive information regarding the damages incurred and identify where to direct damage assessment teams.

Please report any damage at this link.

The Connecticut Department of Agriculture is also asking producers who experienced losses during the heavy rainfall to report them through their survey.

Producers can also email AGR.disaster@ct.gov for additional assistance and information. Mayor Roberto Alves and Emergency Management Director Matt Cassavechia are available for questions or comments.
