Enfield is a Hartford County border town on the Connecticut River with significant flood exposure from the river and consistent nor'easter vulnerability. The Connecticut River has flooded Enfield multiple times historically, and the town's low-lying riverfront areas remain at risk. Its position directly on the Massachusetts border means emergency coordination spans two states during major flood and storm events.

  • Store at least 72 hours of food and water.
