INSURANCE QUESTIONS?

SAFETY:

  • Falling branches and uprooted trees can become tangled with electrical wires and become energized.  Please stay clear and report any fallen trees or wires immediately.
  • If you use a generator, always operate it outdoors and as far from the house as possible. Keep it away from doors, windows and air vents to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu. If you suspect carbon monoxide is present in your home, go outside immediately and breathe deeply; then call 911.

ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE: 

  • If you need additional assistance, call Connecticut’s toll-free Infoline, 211, for information, referrals and other services.
