CT Department of Labor Assistance for Flood Victims
Labor Commissioner Danté Bartolomeo is pleased to share the launch of CTDOL Assistance for Flood Victims that can be accessed from the CTDOL homepage. In August, several Connecticut communities were impacted by historic flooding. The CT Department of Labor (CTDOL) is among the agencies helping people and employers rebuild. If one of your constituents is out of work due to the flooding, or had hours reduced, they may be eligible for unemployment benefits. Additionally, employers can find assistance through the CTDOL Rapid Response team. Please feel free to direct your constituents to the Department of Labor Assistance for Flood Victims webpage for a consolidated list of resources and links.

$$ for Small Businesses
Starting Tuesday, Sep. 3, area small employers can submit applications for state flood assistance funding. The email for applications is: [email protected].

Applicants will be required to provide descriptions of how their businesses were impacted and include photos, receipts, invoices, and estimates where applicable. Details here.

Farmers: Livestock, Crops, & Field Assistance

DoAg has reinvigorated its disaster relief website here: Disaster Relief Resources (ct.gov).

In an effort to better understand the scope of the situation, DoAg is asking producers to share estimated losses with them through their online reporting tool. This data will be shared with USDA Farm Service Agency and UConn Extension as they send out resources and information. By filling out this information it will assist these entities in determining if a disaster declaration can be obtained. The farm name and contact information is not required, this is a tool to assess the damage done and report that out.

Infrastructure losses should be reported to the local emergency management team, to find yours, please go here: Regional Offices (ct.gov).
