How interesting!

In 1952, Maine recognized the Town of Pittsfield, Maine as a leader in community preparedness. Back then it was called civil defense, today we call it emergency management.

This September, during Preparedness Month, we’re celebrating that history and reminding every town (and every household) in Maine: preparedness is timeless, and it starts with each of us.
Connect with your local and county emergency managers and find out how you can get prepared or visit our website.
