Governor Ned Lamont has activated Connecticut’s Extreme Hot Weather Protocol starting at noon today through at least Friday night. The move comes as heat indexes are expected to top 100 degrees across the state. The protocol opens cooling centers and mobilizes emergency resources to help protect seniors and others at risk. You should stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and check on those who may need help. Cooling center locations are available by dialing 2-1-1 or visiting www.211ct.org.
