Naugatuck personnel have worked to open overnight shelters that can accommodate a limited number of residents.  We ask that only those residents most in need seek overnight shelter.

Approximately twenty five (25) cots will be available for senior citizen residents in the community room of Oak Terrace Senior Housing located at 53 Conrad Street, Naugatuck, CT 06770; and the dining hall of the Congregate House located at 480 Millville Avenue, Naugatuck, CT 06770.

In addition, Andrew Avenue Elementary School, 140 Andrew Avenue, Naugatuck, CT 06770, will be available as an overnight shelter.  Cots will be available for approximately two hundred (200) residents for overnight stays.  Hot meals and beverages will be available at Andrew Avenue to all residents without power beginning at 6:00 PM.  Admittance to the overnight shelter will be on a first come – first serve basis.  We ask all residents wishing to spend the night to bring pillows and blankets for each person in the family.

Warming stations will be open during daytime hours on Monday (10/31/2011) at Andrew Avenue School, the Naugatuck Senior Center, the Congregate House, the Congregational Church and the Howard Whittemore Library beginning at 9:00 AM.  Light snacks and beverages will be available free of charge.  Residents may charge cells phones and other personal computing devices at all facilities and any other Borough building that will be open.  We are working to arrange for temporary shower facilities for Monday (10/31/2011).

Any decision regarding recommendations for Halloween trick or treating will also be made on Monday (10/31/2011) after accessing safety concerns.
