Appointment Application

The LEPC’s mission is bringing together town elected and appointed officials, community and industries for enhancing hazardous materials, natural disaster, and terrorism preparedness. This includes providing input into the town’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. The LEPC is a focal point in the town for CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams and an interface with the MRC (Medical Reserve Corp.). While federal and state resources are of immense importance to local communities, local planning and execution may be of ultimate importance as Hurricane Katrina teaches us. Here, federal and state planning broke down, and communities needed to deal with the reality of a disaster on their doorstep.
