A survey of behavioral health providers, including organizations such as hospitals, substance abuse providers, mental health and crisis providers and community support programs, was distributed by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention in partnership with AdCare Educational Institute of Maine to further the exploration of regional behavioral health preparedness. The results of this survey provide a snapshot of the current state of community preparedness. Survey results show that agencies have realized different levels of planning and have diverse capabilities with respect to disaster response. The data also provides an opportunity for these groups to review, further develop, expand and strengthen each community’s preparedness capabilities. Download the survey.
