The Carson City Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) meets quarterly and has been since 1988. The responsibilities of the LEPC are stated in law: each LEPC must develop an emergency plan, collect and store information provided by facilities, and make that information available to the public. The LEPC is a forum for all hazard emergency planning. 

What Does the LEPC Do?

Under EPCRA, the LEPC is the focal point for chemical emergency response planning and implementation in the community. The Committee’s mission has expanded to include all risks. The Carson City LEPC provides a forum to discuss, coordinate and provide information for a broad range of emergencies from severe weather to terrorism.
