The role of LEPCs is to form partnerships with local industries and governments as a resource for enhancing hazardous materials preparedness. If your business would like to be apart the of LEPC please contact Emergency Management at 785-448-6797. Local governments are responsible for the integration of planning and response. There are many steps in this process:
Ensuring a local hazards analysis is accomplished and includes hazmat incidents as well as potential off site effects of facility releases
Including hazardous materials incident planning with local emergency plans
Ensuring hazardous materials response capability assessments are accomplished and shortfalls identified
Enhancing response capabilities through responder training
Developing mutual aid agreements with surrounding jurisdictions
Exercising hazmat response with realistic field exercises and table tops.
