The Maryland Municipal League's Hometown Emergency Preparedness Ad hoc Committee (HEPAC) is pleased to introduce a new Preventing and Responding to Civil Unrest web resource (http://mdmunicipal.org/921/Civil-Unrest-Resources).This page provides MML members with information on how your community can minimize the potential for civil disturbances while protecting citizens' right to free speech and assembly. If you have questions or suggestions for additional materials, contact MML Education Services Director Tom Reynolds at tomr@mdmunicipal.org.
