On April 25, 2014, emergency responders from Connecticut’s state and local agencies joined with leaders in the private sector and academia for a full-day emergency preparedness and disaster recovery workshop aimed at helping prepare the state’s small businesses for natural and man-made disasters. The workshop, hosted by the Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency (CCRPA) and Central Connecticut State University’s (CCSU) Institute for Technology and Business Development, was held in conjunction with more than a dozen organizations including the Travelers Institute, Connecticut Light & Power and the City of New Britain, among others.
