Connecticut issues cleanup guidance after severe floods

Following severe flash flooding on Sunday, Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) has issued detailed cleanup and safety guidelines for residents and businesses.

The DCP is particularly concerned about potential hazards from standing water, which may contain sewage, oil, or other contaminants, and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from improper use of gas-powered equipment indoors. Businesses, especially those handling food and alcohol, are advised to follow strict protocols to ensure contaminated products are not resold. The state is working with local health departments and other agencies to provide support and ensure public safety. (Source time: 2026-09-15 16:07:21 GMT)
