Is your county ready for emergencies? Many counties do not have an active local emergency planning committee (LEPC), leaving gaps in community preparedness and response. Starting an LEPC in an inactive county empowers community members, first responders, and leaders to plan effectively and strengthen resilience together. This is a call to action—bring safety and preparedness back to your community and help protect what matters most. Let’s work together to build a safer future for everyone!
