Official sources index

Official sources should be separated from commentary so families and reviewers can quickly find the authoritative door.

Emergency and crisis

Use official crisis routes first.

911, 988, Maine crisis support, and 211 routing belong in safety strips and practical guides.

Court and legal aid

Use official court/legal-aid doors.

Court forms, Maine Judicial Branch pages, Pine Tree Legal, and VLP-style resources should be tracked separately.

Election process

Citizen initiative facts need official sourcing.

Secretary of State process, deadlines, and signature requirements should be updated from official sources.

Municipal routing

Local links need provenance.

Town, county, school, and service links should be source-labeled and reviewed before publication.
