If you see a military helicopter, the bomb squad or people in hazmat suits next week, it might just be a test. More than 30 federal, state and local agencies, including police, emergency responders, the National Guard and the Coast Guard will converge at several locations around Maine from June 3 to 6 to practice responding to a variety of natural and man-made disasters. The exercises will take place across the state with significant activity in and around Casco Bay in Portland and South Portland, Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth, the Kennebec County town of Winthrop and the Aroostook County town of Houlton.
