FEMA personnel are surveying the damage caused by storms earlier this month. This is part of the process required by law to request a Major Disaster Declaration from President Joe Biden. Officials with FEMA and the Maine Emergency Management Agency met with state park officials in Georgetown on Wednesday morning. Reid State Park has been closed because of the destruction caused by waves pounding the shore and infrastructure. At the direction of Governor Janet Mills, MEMA asked FEMA to conduct damage assessments for both the Jan. 10 and 13 storms at the same time.
