Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC)

Washington State has 43 Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC). These LEPCs, in concert with their respective local emergency management offices, conduct hazard identification, vulnerability analysis, and risk assessment activities for their jurisdictions. Federal and state statutes require LEPCs to develop and maintain emergency response plans based on the volumes and types of substances found in, or transported through, their districts.

United States Department of Transportation’s HMEP planning grant funds awarded to Washington State for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 will total approximately $72,345.  These grant funds will be passed through to tribal and local emergency management offices having functional and active LEPCs and TERCs.  Click for:
