Maine Prepares for Winter

Winter in Maine is beautiful, but sometimes cruel.

As we prepare for winter storms and chills, remember that winter can also bring violent coastal storms, unexpected thaws and flooding as well as snow and ice.

A big part of preparing for winter in Maine has to do with making sure our homes are weather-tight, and helping those who need it to access heating assistance. The Governor has established a special web section dedicated to energy programs and tips.
