From the Office of the Southbury First Selectman:
Seven days ago, our community faced the largest flood in Southbury’s history. This flood tested our resilience and strength. We want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your cooperation and patience during this challenging time.
Our first priority continues to be the safety and well-being of our residents. Over the past few days, we have worked tirelessly alongside emergency responders, volunteers, and community partners to ensure that everyone is safe and that essential services are restored as quickly as possible. We are proud to report that significant progress has been made.
While many roads have been cleared and power has been restored to residents, we are still working on repairing some critical infrastructure. We ask for your continued understanding as our public works crews are on the ground, day and night, to address these remaining issues.
If you are in need of assistance, please visit our Town's Emergency Management page: https://southbury-ct.org/emergencycenter for more information.
It is essential that every homeowner documents their damage on the town website www.southbury-ct.org/emergencycenter. This documentation will allow FEMA to assess the damages and determine eligibility for assistance.
