PRESQUE ISLE, ME -- With Hurricane Earl under close watch by federal officials, Congressman Mike Michaud has provided a link to updated information from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the front page of his website so that Mainers have the latest information on how to prepare for a potential hurricane. Michaud also encourages Mainers to visit www.ready.gov to learn more about how to prepare for an emergency.

• "The most valuable tool we have in emergency situations is information. These websites are great resources for everyone to be aware of, but especially those on the East Coast, where it looks like Hurricane Earl could be a potential threat. While it’s still too early to tell how close the storm will come to Maine, it never hurts too think ahead and be prepared." -- Rep. M. Michaud
