Local Emergency Planning Committee

Our LEPC, includes:

Identification of facilities and transportation routes of extremely hazardous substances
Description of emergency response procedures, on and off site

Outline of emergency notification procedures
Description of how to determine the probable affected area and population by releases
Description of local emergency equipment and facilities and the persons responsible for them
Outline of evacuation plans
A training program for emergency responders (including schedules)
