Emergency Preparedness Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) for Hazardous Materials Public Safety Training Exercises Statewide Regional Evacuation Study (SRES) Program
3
What is an LEPC? LEPCs support the Emergency Planning Community Right-to-Know Act Broad based membership Compliance Assistance First responder training program HazMat exercises Public education
4
Creation of LEPCs Bhopal Incident – December 1984 Methyl isocyanate Union Carbide Plan Killed at least 10,000 More than 500,000 survivors with medical problems EPCRA - 1986 SERC LEPC
5
EPCRA Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 (EPCRA) was created to help communities plan for emergencies involving hazardous substances The Act establishes requirements for federal, state and local governments, Indian tribes, and industry regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals The Community Right-to-Know provisions help increase the public's knowledge and access to information on chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment. There are four major provisions of EPCRA: Emergency Planning (Sections 301 – 303) Emergency Release Notification (Section 304) Hazardous Chemical Storage Reporting (Sections 311 – 312) Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (Section 313)
6
SERC Establishing procedures for receiving and processing public requests for information collected under EPCRA Reviewing local emergency response plans Designating local emergency planning districts Appointing a Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC) for each district Supervising the activities of the LEPC
7
LEPC LEPCs must develop an emergency response plan, review it at least annually Provide information about chemicals in the community to citizens The LEPC membership must include (at a minimum): Elected state and local officials Police, fire, civil defense, and public health professionals Environment, transportation, and hospital officials Facility representatives Representatives from community groups and the media

HazMat Training First Responder HazMat Training Refresher courses
10
Shelter in Place Education Public Education What to do during a chemical emergency
11
Exercises What are exercises? Discussion-based Operation-based Why do we have exercises? Improve coordination Develop plans and policies Test procedures, equipment
12
Planning Exercises Planning team Determines objectives, scenario, and participating agencies Who else is involved in exercises? Actors Facilitators Controllers Evaluators Observers Players
13
HazMat Exercise LEPC completes a biannual exercise to test and update our planning document Most recent exercise in April 2011 in Seminole County
