Ottawa County Emergency Management

Ottawa County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) was established by the county to ensure that appropriate plans are in place to increase the safety of the community. The LEPC works with industry and agriculture to help prevent chemical accidents from happening and to develop community plans for responding to chemical emergencies. The LEPC is also responsible for establishing procedures and programs, which make it easier for the community to understand and have access to the information that industry submits about the chemicals they use.
