Emergency Management » Local Emergency Planning Committee
The Local Emergency Planning Committee District VII (LEPC 7) is a countywide organization that was formed by the State Emergency Response Commission in the 1980′s. LEPC 7 is very active and contains membership from fire departments, law enforcement agencies, EMS squads, Towns, hospitals, schools, private industries, human service organizations, and others.
The goal of the LEPC is to promote countywide emergency planning. The LEPC serves as a forum for cooperation and collaboration among entities and a resource for those entities. The LEPC assists in sponsoring training and obtaining grant funding for the county, as well as writing and updating emergency plans. The LEPC also serves as the Citizens Corps Council for the Medical Reserve Corps of Southwestern Vermont.
LEPC 7 meets bi-monthly. The next meeting will be held on March 31 at 6:00PM at the Mt Anthony Union Middle School in Bennington. To RSVP, contact Lissa Stark at 442-0713 ext.2 or lstark@bcrcvt.org.
