PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – Age-Friendly Presque Isle, part of the City of Presque Isle, wants to be certain that our older residents are safe during weather emergencies and have access to the resources they need. As such, Age-Friendly Presque Isle has prepared two documents that are available to anyone on the City’s website at www.presqueislemaine.gov.
The two documents are a list of items to include in an emergency weather kit, and a “File of Life”. The File of Life is a document to be filled out by the resident and updated every six months. This document provides information to assist first responders as they treat you or your loved one in a medical emergency if they are unable to speak for themselves due to the nature of the emergency.
And, for as long as supplies last, the City has a very limited number of quality Age-Friendly Presque Isle tote bags available for older adults who are residents of Presque Isle, which include these two documents as well as a couple of giveaways. The bags will be available at the Tax Clerk windows on the first floor of City Hall.
For more information on Age-Friendly Presque Isle, please contact Kim Smith, resource development & public information officer, at 207-760-2722 or ksmith@presqueisleme.us.
