Local Emergency Planning Committee
The Indiana State Emergency Response Commission has designated a group in each of Indiana's counties who will carry out these tasks. This group is known as the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), and our function is to serve as the liason between industry and the community. The Lake County LEPC is a unit of, and is accountable to, the State of Indiana's Emergency Response Commission.
