Local Emergency Planning Commission Meeting

Overview

Description

Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) are appointed by State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs). The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (SARA Title II) requires all 50 states and U.S. Territories to set up a state SERC. The SERCs were established to ensure that all states’ emergency response programs are integrated with federal laws. SERCs and LEPCs work together with government agencies (such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), local Community Advisory Panels (CAPs), chemical companies, and various groups involved in emergency response to educate the general public, law enforcement, and first responders about the safe handling of chemicals; better known as product stewardship.

This meeting includes industry partners from manufacturing companies in the city, as well as community members and members of agencies at the city, state, and federal levels.
