Governor Lamont Extends Severe Cold Weather Protocol Through Saturday Afternoon
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that due to an updated weather forecast showing that the current stretch of brutally frigid conditions Connecticut is experiencing will continue for at least another day longer than anticipated, he is extending the duration of the state’s severe cold weather protocol to remain in effect until 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 25, 2025.
The protocol went into effect on Sunday, January 19, and had originally been set to expire on the afternoon of Friday, January 24.
While activated, the protocol initiates a series of actions to ensure that the most vulnerable populations receive protection from the severe cold, which could be life threatening if exposed to the elements for extended periods of time.
Shelters and warming centers are open throughout Connecticut. Anyone in need of a place to stay warm can be directed to nearby locations by calling 2-1-1 or viewing the list of available options that has been published online at 211ct.org. Transportation can be provided to a shelter or warming center if needed.
