“Use a lot of common sense, stay out of the elements, let the storm take its course, and be safe. The biggest thing is to be safe. We don’t want anyone to get hurt,” said Governor LePage.
Today, Governor LePage received a briefing on Hurricane Sandy from Commissioner for the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management Brigadier General James Campbell, Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Director Robert McAleer, and Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Morris. The Governor declared a statewide emergency to enable state, county and municipal governments to respond effectively to the impact of the storm. The proclamation authorizes state agencies to use all available resources and personnel as necessary to cope with this emergency situation.
