Galena Park LEPC

The Galena Park LEPC was formed to carry out the responsibilities required under public law 99-499, the 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Title III, and related regulations for the City of Galena Park.

 

Local Emergency Planning Committees are quasi-governmental bodies. They do not function in actual emergency situations, but attempt to identify and catalogue potential hazards, identify available resources, mitigate hazards when feasible, and write emergency plans. The role of the LEPC is to anticipate and plan the initial response for foreseeable disasters in their jurisdiction.
