Maine Emergency Management Shares List of What to Include in Your Home's "Emergency Pack".

With our Maine weather, you never know when a line will go down, a storm will pop up, a hurricane, nor'easter or blizzard will be in the works.
The Maine Emergency Management folks sent a nice reminder in our e mail today that People in Maine should always be prepared for 3 days without electrical power.
They have provided a list of a suggested "Emergency Pack" that you keep all in one place in a corner of your home or basement.
Lebanon Maine Truth Seekers is pleased to share that list with you...........
