Local Emergency Planning Committee
Orange County's Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is a federally mandated committee that addresses emergency planning and response needs within the community. Its primary role is to create and update plans for handling hazardous materials incidents and other emergencies. LEPC members include representatives from local government, emergency services, businesses, and the public, all collaborating to enhance community resilience and coordination during crises.
Tier II Reporting
Tier II reporting is a requirement for businesses to provide detailed information about the hazardous chemicals they store or use, ensuring transparency and safety in the community. This data helps emergency responders prepare for and manage incidents involving these chemicals effectively. LEPC members, along with local officials and first responders, use Tier II reports to enhance their preparedness and coordination efforts during emergencies.
