Whether you are stuck in traffic or stuck in a snow storm, some emergency foods in your car can save the day. Keep a tote bag or bin stocked with bottled water and non-perishable high energy foods, such as granola bars, raisins and peanut butter. Keep it under a seat or somewhere else inside the car, not in the trunk. For more information about car preparedness, visit https://www.maine.gov/mema/maine-prepares/home-preparedness/car-bag.
If you were affected by the January 2024 severe storms, you can apply for federal disaster assistance.
