Our staff also serves as subject experts to the Police and Fire Departments in response to biological and hazardous material releases. The program also participates and conducts emergency preparedness exercises. This year we participated with the State of Connecticut in preparing for and receiving Medical Supplies at our “Point of Distribution” / POD site to ensure that all emergency responders can perform their duties. The purpose of the exercise was to test the city’s ability to respond to emergencies and/or vaccinate the population in the event of a pandemic.  The Land Use projects include the expansion and completion of the Ives Trail; the maintenance of the Lake Kenosia Garden Buffer; The maintenance of the Still River Trail and improvements through the DEEP Grant Process and the improvements of all City parks and Greenways through cooperative efforts within the City and with Community Partners.
