Connecticut Emergency Alert & Notification System (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.
