Given the projected severity of
Hurricane Irene and its potential
impact on New Haven, the City is
now calling for the mandatory
evacuation of the areas colored in
yellow, effective immediately.
Residents of these areas should
evacuate by 7:30 p.m.
If residents of these areas have
family members elsewhere in the
City or State that will not be as
severely impacted by the storm, we
urge them to go there. The City
does have emergency shelters set
up in two locations around the City:
Jepson School, 15 Lexington
Avenue and King-Robinson
School, 154 Fournier Street. We
will accommodate as many people
as possible.
Residents who do not comply with
the evacuation will be putting
themselves and their families at
risk.
We expect these residents will be
able to return home after the storm
passes on Sunday. Please check
the
City’s
website
at
www.cityofnewhaven.com for
further information or call the
Emergency Operations Center at
203-946-8221.
