In August 2023, the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), the Maine Association of Local Emergency Managers (MALEM), and the Maine Emergency Management County Directors Council (MEMCDC) collaboratively revised the Local Emergency Management Director Handbook to ensure the needs of Local Emergency Managers and Emergency Management Best Practices were met. The purpose of this handbook is to help acquaint appointed Emergency Managements in Maine’s communities with the duties of the job.
Access the State of Maine Local Emergency Management Director Handbook here!
Additionally, we have prepared a PowerPoint presentation to help you present the Local EMA Handbook to local directors or partners in your community. This presentation includes presenter notes for your use.
Please contact us with suggestions to enhance the handbook in future iterations, and any accompanying resources you hope for in the future by contacting malemorganization@gmail.com
