Each of Maine's
sixteen counties has their own emergency management agency (EMA)
which operate under MEMA on the state level and FEMA on the
national level, to provide emergency management services and
awareness.
Emergency
Management works with each community's local emergency
management director to help deliver vital services in case of a
large scale emergency.
On a day-to-day
basis, Emergency Management:
- provides a
central command center in case of a large scale emergency.
- works with
communities to revise and update their emergency plans.
- develops an
extensive contact database of municipal officials in
Washington County.
- notifying
communities of training and grant opportunities offered on
the State and Federal level.
-
distributing information to communities on general safety
issues.
