LEPC Regional Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Plan
The LEPC's Regional Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Plan (RHMEPP) serves to coordinate the planning and response actions of the Mid-America Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The plan provides an administrative framework for hazardous materials planning and response in the areas served by the Mid-America LEPC including Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte, and Ray Counties, and Kansas City, Missouri.
The document serves as an emergency planning tool to facilitate an effective, coordinated, multi-jurisdictional response by all personnel during a hazardous materials emergency.
The document includes four components:
- The Basic Plan
- Part I, Hazardous Material Guidance for Emergency Responders
- Part II, Hazardous Material Guidance for Facilities
- Glossary, Authorities, and References
The basic plan, without appendices, is available online, in PDF format. The full LEPC plan is available for review, by appointment, at the Mid-America Regional Council offices during normal business hours.
To make an appointment to review the plan, please submit a written request to Mid-America LEPC,
