In An Emergency:

This page is where park staff and key stakeholders, including volunteers, concessioners, and partners, will know to look for time-bound information specific to emergent or important events that require communication and coordination. Any information posted here is non-sensitive and does not need to be restricted to an internal audience.

Emergency Operations Plan

Acadia National Park has an Emergency Operations Plan designed to prepare employees to respond to natural and manmade events. It defines general employee roles and responsibilities and establishes an Incident Command System when merited. The incident objectives for each scenario focus on restoration of essential functions while keeping the health and safety of employees, visitors, and the public paramount. Managers of each park division are responsible for familiarizing their employees with the plan.

Though Acadia is well known for its landscapes and natural history, it also has many rich layers of significant cultural history. Wabanaki people have lived here for as long as 10,000 years, and many continue to call this place home, or feel connected to it from afar. In partnership with the Abbe Museum, Acadia National Park, and sponsored by Dawnland, LLC, the Cultural Connections in the Park program hosts free public events every Wednesday from late June through September.
