1. What is CT Alert ENS?

The Connecticut Emergency Alerting and Notification System (or CT Alert ENS) allows emergency services personnel to notify residents and businesses about a potential emergency circumstance. This system uses the 911 database and citizen opt-in data that residents voluntarily provide (phone numbers, email addresses, etc.).

Connecticut State Statute dictates that CT Alert ENS E911 database can only be used for life-threatening situations. However, the Trumbull Citizen Alert system can be used for non-life-threatening situations.

Visit the CT Alert ENS website to register and receive emergency alerts.

To receive notifications, visit the Connecticut Emergency Alert and Notification System website and follow the instructions.

3. I have an unlisted phone number. Is this number included in the CT Alert ENS database?

4. Can I receive alerts via email and my mobile phone?
