MEMA was originally established under the Maine Civil Defense and Public Safety Act of 1949, which authorized the Governor to establish, within the Executive Department, a Civil Defense and Public Safety Agency. The Maine Civil Defense Act in 1972 re-designated MEMA as the Bureau of Civil Defense within the Department of Military. In 1974, the Department of Military was re-designated as the Department of Defense and Veterans Services and MEMA changed names yet again – this time to the Bureau of Civil Preparedness. In 1987, our name changed for a final time to what we all know today – Maine Emergency Management Agency – and while agency structure and name have remained unchanged since, the Department of Defense and Veterans Services was renamed in 1996 to the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management.
