Governor Mills Declares State of Emergency in Anticipation of Hurricane Lee & Requests Presidential Emergency Disaster Declaration from President Biden

Press Release

"The preemptive actions I took today position Maine to seize Federal resources to respond to the impacts of Hurricane Lee. We continue to closely track the storm and are expecting heavy rains and high winds that likely will cause storm surge, inland flooding, infrastructure damage, and power outages. We continue to strongly urge Maine people -- particularly those Downeast -- to exercise caution and to take steps to ensure they have what they need to stay safe as the storm draws closer."
