Connecticut Flood Awareness Workshops |
In the May and June 2023, the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP), Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS), under a technical assistance award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) through their Floodplain Management Services Program, partnered with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), National Weather Service (NWS), United States Geological Survey (USGS) and other agencies to provide five region-specific flood awareness workshops covering flooding hazards, resources, and awareness information to local emergency management directors, chief elected officials, local planning and zoning officials, town engineers and organizations that work with underserved populations. The five workshops were attended by over 200 local officials across the state and were held in Fairfield, Orange, West Hartford, Willimantic and Kent, one workshop in each of the DEMHS Regions.

Climate Change Along Connecticut's Coast |
CUTLINE is the Connecticut Public Television series that explores current issues, ideas, and events that are important in Connecticut. In February 2023, the series produced an episode entitled Climate Change Along Connecticut's Coast (51 minutes).
Connecticut’s coastline along Long Island Sound will be the frontline to some of the state’s most severe impacts of climate change. In this episode, travel along the Sound to learn about its historical and ecological importance, what changes coastal communities face, and what needs to be done to protect them. Funding for this program was provided by the Connecticut Green Bank and The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut.

New Elevation Certificate & Dry Floodproofing Certificate |
If you have trouble downloading the Elevation Certificate, please follow the tip provided by the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM). If you get a "Please Wait" error when trying to download the new Elevation Certificate form it is due to an incompatibility issue with the alternative PDF viewer used by certain browsers. To get around this, right click on the Download File link and select "save link as". Save it to your PC. Once it is on your PC, you should be able to open the file.
The Elevation Certificate (EC) provides the information needed to comply with community floodplain management regulations, ensure accurate insurance premium calculation, and support a request for a Letter of Map Change to remove a building from the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain).
Highlights of the revisions to the EC:
• A new Section H is available for use in all flood zones to determine the building's first floor height for NFIP insurance purposes. Photos must be submitted with all Elevation Certificates.
• Instructions for other sections have been revised and clarified, as needed, to ensure greater consistency and accuracy in the information provided.
In March 2023, FEMA has also produced a new Elevation Certificate fact sheet for property owners. This new fact sheet explains how an Elevation Certificate is useful in the new Risk Rating 2.0 insurance premium rating methodology, how the it is used for construction and regulatory purposes, and how to obtain an Elevation Certificate.
The Dry Floodproofing Certificate is used to certify a dry floodproofing design that may be permitted as an alternative to elevating to or above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for non-residential buildings and the dry floodproofed non-residential portions of mixed-use buildings.
Highlights of the revisions to the Dry Floodproofing Certificate include:
• A revised format that requires separate certification of building design, elevation, and construction.
• A new Required Documentation page.

What are Atmospheric Rivers? |
While atmospheric rivers can vary greatly in size and strength, the average atmospheric river carries an amount of water vapor roughly equivalent to the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Exceptionally strong atmospheric rivers can transport up to 15 times that amount. When the atmospheric rivers make landfall, they release this water vapor in the form of rain or snow.
Although atmospheric rivers come in many shapes and sizes, those that contain the largest amounts of water vapor and the strongest winds can create extreme rainfall and floods, often by stalling over watersheds vulnerable to flooding. These events can disrupt travel, induce mudslides and cause catastrophic damage to life and property. A well-known example is the Pineapple Express, a strong atmospheric river that is capable of bringing moisture from the tropics near Hawaii over to the U.S. West Coast.
Not all atmospheric rivers cause damage. Most are weak systems that often provide beneficial rain or snow that is crucial to the water supply. Atmospheric rivers are a key feature in the global water cycle and are closely tied to both water supply and flood risks — particularly in the western United States.
