The City of Corpus Christi Nueces County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is a mandated organization that works in partnership with citizens, local government, and industry to enhance preparedness for chemical and hazardous material releases. Their primary mission is to reduce risk and provide emergency response planning, with a particular focus on public education and awareness, especially in local schools.
Through joint emergency planning, training, and public outreach, the LEPC ensures that communities in Corpus Christi and Nueces County, Texas, are better equipped to protect public health and the environment. They adhere to 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 III, and related regulations for emergency response planning.
