"Bears tend to avoid human contact and live in wooded areas away from neighborhoods, but the department has issued the following guidelines in case a resident comes across the animal in town:

Call 911 if: 

  • There is an immediate threat to humans
  • The bear is a nuisance
  • The bear attacks a pet

Do not call 911 if:

  • The bear is not presenting an immediate danger to humans, pets, or property"
