The Washington State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) is pleased to announce registration is open for the 2021 LEPC-Tribal Conference and Hazardous Materials Workshop. This year’s conference and workshop, provided through a collaborative effort of state agencies and Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs), will be a combined event to engage both the Hazmat responders and LEPC/Tribal groups in this virtual event to provide “Whole Community” involvement. 

The purpose of the conference is to increase compliance of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), help increase LEPC knowledge, and how to access and share information. LEPCs are organizations that consist of emergency responders, industry, government, education, media, and community groups.

The conference/workshop will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays, April 6th – May 6th. 

Any first responder, member of the SERC or LEPC, is invited to attend (part or all) of this virtual conference and training event. Because of the virtual nature of the event, we are not limited to a certain number of attendees. Please feel free to share this with whoever may have an interest.
