Brian Ambrette, State Resilience Office Director
The Maine Monitor featured a conversation with State Resilience Office (SRO) director Brian Ambrette. Ambrette discussed the role of the new office, which was established as part of the Maine Office of Community Affairs, and its goals.
“It’s important for an entity like the State Resilience Office to have this kind of high altitude vantage point to think about responses that can address multiple issues at a time, like threats to community safety, economic wellbeing and resilience posed by climate change. We can provide benefits in that level of information preparation for community leaders. They don’t have the hours to spend weeding through a GIS system, looking at flood maps and things like that,” Ambrette said.
