Ridgefield Sets Up Storm Information Hotline
The Office of Emergency Management wants you call this number and save 911 for emergencies.
RIDGEFIELD, CT — The Office of Emergency Management has established a Storm Information Hotline for residents with questions or concerns in the aftermath of the damage and conditions caused by Tropical Storm Isaias on Tuesday.
The information hotline for storm-related questions is 203-431-2718. For all other emergencies, residents may dial 911.
The OEM is urging Ridgefielders not to call the police or fire department with general storm-related questions.
So far statewide, Eversource has restored power to about 332,000 customers, said Craig Hallstrom, president of Eversource electric operations. There were 450 line crews and 235 tree crews working in the state Wednesday and that number is expected to double by the end of Thursday as the company pulls in more out-of-state workers, he said.
