LEPC - Local Emergency Planning Committee

A Local Emergency Planning Committee or LEPC, is a voluntary organization which is established in an Emergency Planning District designed by the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC). LEPC's are crucial to local hazardous materials planning and community right-to-know programs. The membership comes from the local area and should be familiar with factors that affect public safety, the environment, and the economy of the jurisdiction. That expertise is essential as the LEPC advises the writers of the Local Emergency Response Plan, so that the plan is tailored to the needs of its planning district. In addition to its formal duties, the LEPC serves as a focal point in the community for information and discussions about hazardous substance emergency planning, and health and environmental risks as well as natural disaster planning.

We are located in the Knox County Courthouse in Rockland (Lower Level) and are staffed by Ray O Sisk. (Treasurer) and Donna Allen (Secretary).
