Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Just completed a very productive call with @POTUS Biden and fellow governors from NY, NJ, MA, and RI. We're all connected to ensure we quickly respond to #HurricaneHenri and have supports in place. I’m now on my way to the Emergency Operations Center to hold a 4PM news briefing. https://t.co/u6viXSAqFW — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

Earlier today I signed and submitted a request for a presidential pre-landfall emergency declaration for Connecticut. This is important for our response and recovery efforts as Hurricane Henri moves through our state in the coming days. https://t.co/dfGG4Y4H4v — PolitiTweet.org

As this storm moves toward CT, we're anticipating heavy rainfall and high winds, with coastal and urban flooding a significant concern. Right now, it’s a good idea for everyone to be prepared and expect to shelter in place by Sunday afternoon through at least Monday morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier today I had a call with @FEMA_Deanne and @femaregion1's Acting Administrator Paul Ford. They've pledged assistance and resources to support Connecticut’s response and anticipated recovery from the storm. We also just completed a statewide call with municipal officials. — PolitiTweet.org

We will be partially activating the CT State Emergency Operations Center on Saturday, and it will become fully activated by Sunday morning. We'll have the relevant state agencies there, as well as utility company representatives, to monitor and manage any issues that may arise. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

In addition, I will be declaring a state of emergency in advance of the storm making landfall, which will enable the state to take any actions necessary to respond and protect the people of the state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont

As Tropical Storm Henri moves toward Connecticut and is expected to strengthen to a Category 1 hurricane, I will be requesting a pre-landfall presidential emergency declaration to provide the state with federal assistance needed for storm response. THREAD ⬇️⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Studies show that students of color achieve better outcomes when they have teachers of color in the classroom. That's why I signed a bill to subsidize the student loans of talented & diverse teachers. This new generation of educators represent greater possibility for our kids. https://t.co/RdYyRIQXYf — PolitiTweet.org
