LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE 

The Board of County Commissioners established the Local Emergency Planning Commission for the administration of a federal program for the development and review of chemical emergency response plans, collecting information about corporate and public use and storage of hazardous chemicals to help fire and HAZMAT officers to safely respond to an incident, and to help citizens exercise their rights under the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act.

The committee is composed of 28 members who serve for terms of indefinite length.  (Job Desc.)

Committee meetings are held on the second Tuesday of January, April, July and October, at 10:00 a.m. at the Office of Emergency Management, 305 S. Union Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
