The Doniphan County Local Planning Committee (LEPC) is a community-based organization created by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), to increase hazardous materials (HAZMAT) preparedness and response.  Doniphan County LEPC membership includes representatives from elected local officials; police; fire; ems; emergency management; public health; environment; transportation; facilities; community groups and the media.

  • Providing planning support for emergency responders and industry members.
  • Coordinating and hosting training.
  • Increase community awareness concerning issues like:  chemical facilities in your area, how to shelter-in-place, when to evacuate and who to call when you have questions.
