Frankenstorm Cheat Sheet: Phone Numbers, Websites, Info

The following is a list of phone numbers and links that could be helpful during Sandy, a massive storm expected to have a serious impact on the state Monday and beyond.

A stripped-down version of the list is embedded at the bottom of this article. Click the title above the document and then print it if you want to keep it handy in the event of a (very probable) power failure.

Please note we didn’t print the phone number for every fire house in the area. We tended to stick with the contacts that were being distributed by the towns Friday and Saturday.

If you’re a public official or OEM member who wants a contact listed here, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

The Valley Indy Facebook page will also be a good resource to reference during the storm, as neighbors share weather conditions and observations with each other.

Info can also be obtained by calling 211.

ALWAYS CALL 911 IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY.

Any evacuations notices will be distributed on the local level. Ansonia, Oxford and Seymour use the Code Red notification system. Click here for a previous story on how to register for the service.

Derby and Shelton will use reverse 911 calls to get information out to residents.
