GOV. MALLOY: RESIDENTS SHOULD REPORT POWER-RELATED LOSSES DUE TO OCTOBER STORM TO 211

(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy is encouraging residents to report any losses or damage attributable to loss of power from the October Nor'easter to www.211ct.org or call 211.

"Connecticut residents have been through an unprecedented several months, and we are now thankfully in the final stages of recovery for people who were without power for a prolonged period of time," said Governor Malloy. "I expect to make an announcement within two weeks regarding who will be tasked with a fair and timely distribution of funds from CL&P, and I am urging Connecticut residents who experienced any losses attributable to the power outages to contact 211. I am also suggesting people save any receipts for expenses. As we move forward, the information collected by 211 will help us determine how reimbursements will be made."

For the most expedient reporting, 211 is recommending that residents visit www.211ct.org and enter basic demographic information and general damage information through an online form. They have also added staff to handle the anticipated increase in call volume.
