Malloy issued a statement on the subject but he’s urging patience.

“After closely monitoring and responding to the weather over the past 24 hours and partially activating our Emergency Operations Center at midnight, we are looking closely at and remain concerned by power outages in eastern Connecticut.

I have been briefed directly from the utility companies on the issue and continue to receive updates. They are working to restore power to those who have lost it and continue to deploy crews to alleviate the situation. However, we urge patience – the situation may take time to resolve. I remain in continuous contact with emergency management officials and relevant state agencies as we work to resolve the situation.

“Coupled with partial activation of the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Hartford, additional coordination is being conducted through the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security’s regional offices in order to help those who need it.

“In addition, the Severe Weather Protocol has been activated. Residents who need shelter are encouraged to call 2-1-1. We will continue to monitor the weather and the power situation closely and will provide updates as needed.”
