MECHANIC FALLS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Emergency Management/Safety https://www.maine.gov/mema/ EMA Town Report Letter 2024-25

Hi Everyone! I can’t believe we are starting another new year. I hope you all made it through the winter safely. This winter did not give us a lot of

snow, but February made up for it, and we are looking forward to the warmer weather. Thankfully, here in Maine we know how to deal with snow, while the rest of the country has been hit hard with dangerous storms. We are thankful to have a great Public Works Department that never fails to jump in and help with clean-up. Once again, we want to stress that we all have to be prepared and ready to take care of ourselves for at least 3 days, in case of an emergency or extended power outage. It’s good to have extra food and water, a generator and sump pump ready, or have a place to go if you have no back up heat source or have medical needs. Always hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. I hope everyone enjoys a great Maine summer. Remember, disasters can happen but being prepared is the key to surviving them. We will be here to keep you informed and as soon as we hear of something happening, we’ll get the word out. Take care, be safe and remember if you see something , say something . Report it. Fred C. Sturtevant III Town EMA director
