Emergency Management for Piscataquis County Emergency management responsibilities are shared by all levels of government.

The County Emergency Management Agency Director serves as a link between local jurisdictions and the State for both the collection and the dissemination of information throughout a disaster. Local and County government are the front line of emergency management organizations. The Emergency Management Agency is not a replacement for police, fire, ambulance, Red Cross, or other emergency response groups. The Emergency Management Agency coordinates response and recovery in declared disasters when more than one department is responding to a threat. The County Emergency Management Agency coordinates emergency response when a disaster extends beyond the normal mutual aid boundaries of the affected community, or when several communities are involved. The county director provides guidance, planning models, home study courses, and workshops on emergency management to local communities and their Emergency Management Agency staff. Emergency response is handled at the lowest level of government possible. The law requires the political subdivisions of the State to use all their available resources to the maximum extent possible to minimize loss of life and damages to public and private property in an emergency. When the resources of local government, the private sector, and volunteer agencies are inadequate, or it is evident they will be exhausted, a request for assistance is made through the community’s normal mutual aid avenues. When these resources are also exhausted, the County Emergency Management Agency Director is notified and a request for additional aid is made to meet any unmet needs. The County Director also coordinates interjurisdictional assistance, and oversees the distribution of county-owned or controlled resources. If the emergency is beyond the capabilities of both local and county government, the county director contacts the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) with requests for State assistance. The County Director verifies, quantifies, and qualifies all resource requests before relaying the request to the State Emergency Operations Center. The County Director keeps the State Emergency Operations Center appraised of the status of resource needs occurring in the county throughout this process. All County Emergency Management Agencies have developed mutual aid agreements with neighboring counties for the sharing of Emergency Management Agency personnel, and sometimes other resources, during emergencies. The natural disasters most likely to occur within Piscataquis County are winter storms, flooding, wildfires, and severe thunderstorms. The most likely man-made disasters include railroad derailments, tanker truck accidents, or a major structure fire.

Happy Friday! Here is your latest weather update for the weekend ahead, including a spooky and cool Halloween forecast!

🍂☀️Today: Expect an extended period of mainly dry weather, though there is a chance for rain showers in the North today and even a few snow showers this evening. High temperatures will range from 51-57°F in the North to 60-64°F in the South, with gusty West-Northwest winds up to 30 mph.

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN FORECAST! 👻🎃
Calling all ghouls, goblins, and superheroes! Saturday is shaping up to be a spooktacular day for trick-or-treating! We are looking at mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions until sunset. Highs will be a crisp 41-46°F up North and 47-51°F down South. As you head out for the candy hunt in the late afternoon and evening, expect temperatures in the 40s to drop quickly into the chilling 30s! Thankfully, the wind gusts will be dying down as the night goes on. Be sure to add a warm, cozy layer under those costumes so you can comfortably grab all your favorite treats! 🍫🍬

Drought Update: On a more serious note, our regional water resources drought continues. We are currently seeing record low deep groundwater at Clayton Lake and Millinocket, with reports of dug drinking wells running low or completely dry. Streamflows are also below to much below normal, particularly in Northern Maine and the Central Highlands. Looking ahead, there is little to no relief expected in the next 7 days, with our next chance of precipitation not arriving until mid to late next week.

Heads up Sabattus! The “Motion Picture” prop money is going around again. Take a second look! One is real and one is a prop. The fake one does not have any of the security features and feels thicker than a normal bill. We are seeing both 20s and 100s. Stay safe and call us with any questions!
