The Greenwich Police Department is reminding residents to prepare for a nor’easter expected to impact our area today through the weekend. The storm is expected to bring prolonged rainfall and strong winds, with gusts potentially reaching 40–55 mph. Downed trees and power lines, power outages, localized flooding, and hazardous travel conditions are possible.
Southern Connecticut could receive approximately 2.5–4 inches of rain over a 36–48 hour period. Urban and poor-drainage flooding is possible, and flooding in shoreline areas may be worsened around high tide.
Please keep the following in mind throughout the storm:
•Call 911 only for emergencies. We anticipate a higher-than-normal call volume during the storm. •Please be patient when calling the non-emergency line, as emergency calls will be prioritized.
•Never approach downed wires. Always assume a downed wire is live and dangerous.
•Do not drive through flooded roadways. Water may be deeper or moving faster than it appears. Turn around and use an alternate route.
•Be prepared for downed trees, branches, debris, and possible road closures. Never attempt to move around barricades or emergency vehicles blocking a roadway.
•Secure outdoor furniture, garbage cans, decorations, and other loose objects before winds increase.
•Charge phones and essential devices and prepare for the possibility of power outages.
•Use extra caution if you must travel. Reduce your speed, increase following distance, and remain alert for standing water and debris.
•Residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas should remain especially alert as conditions change.
The Greenwich Police Department will continue to monitor conditions throughout the storm. Road closures and other important public safety information will be shared as conditions develop.
Please monitor official Town of Greenwich and Greenwich Police Department communications for updates, and allow police, fire, public works, utility crews, and other emergency personnel the space they need to safely respond.
