What is an LEPC?

A Local Emergency Planning Committee or LEPC, is a voluntary organization which is established in an Emergency Planning District designated by the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC). Most Texas counties have a single LEPC, however some counties have multiple LEPCs which serve individual cities or communities in that county.

Both the SERC and the LEPCs were established to meet the requirements of the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA, also known as the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA, Title II) for emergency response planning.

There is a toll free registration number for The FirstCall Registration Line  to add your unlisted/private number to the call out database that the LEPC as well as many other local industry members utilize for public notification.  866-484-3264 is a toll free number and is a fully automated system. Just follow the instructions and the phone numbers and addresses will be added to the database within 24 hours.
