The Rich County (LEPC) consists of multiple agencies and businesses and allows collaboration between responders, the private sector, and the business sector to understand the hazards, hazardous material sites, and highly dangerous areas throughout the county, trying to identify the best ways to deal with these various hazards and plan for the whole community.
Since there are no industrial sites and potential HAZMAT threats in Rich County are low, we meet quarterly to discuss potential issues in the County and coordinate, plan and exercise for those events. This includes things like wildfires. flooding, extreme weather, community events and other activities. It also provides a forum for coordination between the local emergency responders, State and Federal agencies, utilities, NGO’s, businesses and the public. All are welcome to attend.
