A Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is a gathering of representatives in a Parish community that have an interest in hazardous materials safety. As a group they are tasked with identifying potential risks that the Parish faces from chemicals manufactured, used, stored and/or transported throughout the Parish community. The LEPC should seek ways to help minimize the risk, prevent accidents, and assist in the development of plans to deal with chemical emergencies. Education and community outreach is another core component of an LEPC. Through the LEPC, the public is able to seek out information about chemicals in their communities and learn the appropriate precautions to take during an emergency.
