S5, E5: LEPC: Hazmat, Planning, and A Whole Lot of Acronyms
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There's a team planning for emergencies long before they occur...and most people don't even know they exist. Settle in to meet the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).
In this episode, we sit down with members of our LEPC to talk about what the group actually does, who’s involved, and how agencies, businesses, and responders work together to prepare for hazardous materials incidents and other emergencies.
We break down the acronyms (in which there are many), explain the planning process, and pull back the curtain on the coordination that happens long before an emergency occurs.
Because good emergency response starts with coordination, collaboration, and preparation behind the scenes.
