Hello!
The Southeast Regional LEPC (SERLEPC) was created in July 2004 from the merger of the former Bay Area and Pasadena LEPCs. It is a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization composed of citizens, industry, business, government, and other interested parties.
The SERLEPC works with local government public safety agencies to develop emergency planning in the event of a chemical disaster and to increase citizen awareness of protection measures through community education projects.
The SERLEPC operates through an Executive Committee, four standing subcommittees, and ad hoc subcommittees. A part-time secretary manages the organization’s daily administrative tasks.
The standing subcommittees are:
- Compliance,
- Emergency Preparedness,
- and Public Education & Community Awareness.
There is an ad hoc subcommittee for emergency managers composed of the member government’s representatives.
- The City of Pasadena Office of Emergency Management serves as the point of contact for release reporting and emergency notification.
- Local industries report their releases and this information is shared with the SERLEPC.
