STRATFORD — The Town of Stratford has initiated its Warming Center protocol upon receiving a Cold Weather Advisory Notice from the State of Connecticut.  This notice extends from today, January 14^th at noon, through Wednesday, January 19^th. 

The reason for the activation is the arrival of intense arctic cold in Connecticut starting tonight resulting in temperatures in the single digits and wind chill factors below zero, followed by a potential winter storm.   

This protocol will provide information through mass communication on personal cold weather protection, contact information for longer term sheltering and warming center locations. 

For overnight and long-term sheltering, residents need to contact the 211 System by dialing 211.  All warming centers will be posted and updated under the State of Connecticut WEBEOCC website.
