Local Emergency Planning Committee Handbook

The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) handbook was developed by the N.D. Department of Emergency Services (NDDES) Division of Homeland Security to provide a resource for step-by-step actions and identify legal authorities in the establishments and governance of an LEPC.

Each North Dakota county is designated as a planning district with a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) appointed for each district. The LEPC is required to develop and maintain a hazardous chemicals emergency response plan for the respective district using information from facilities required to report under the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). Facilities maintaining their own response plan need to have appropriate information incorporated in the LEPC plan. Being familiar with the resources and assets as well as the dangers within their communities, the LEPC, local government officials, and the management of hazardous material facilities have the greatest ability to establish, maintain, review, and test procedures to mitigate emergency situations.
