Simple steps to prepare for any emergency

The real "first responder", the first person dealing with any emergency is the person experiencing it — you.

An emergency can happen to any of us, at any time.

In Maine, we pride ourselves on being able to take care of ourselves. But what exactly would we need to do in a flood or a hurricane or a family emergency?

We hope the information you will find here will help you take those first steps to get ready for the unexpected, because even in Maine, the unexpected happens.

Being prepared is part of who we are: Maine prepares.
