The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is a local federally mandated committee with representatives from different industries, government agencies, environmental groups, emergency response groups, and others governed by the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and overseen by the local Emergency Management Department. The LEPC is an awareness group, not an enforcement group, that serves as the link between local government, industry, and the community to enhance hazardous materials preparedness.

Person County's LEPC meets quarterly.

What is a Tier II Report?  

A Tier II Report is an annual inventory of stored chemicals that meet or exceed certain thresholds required under Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). The purpose is to provide state and local officials, and the public with specific information on potential hazards.
