The following are LEPC objectives in Collin County:

1. To obtain and provide the general public with information mandated under EPCRA and SARA Title III, inform citizens of their right-to-know, and assure those living and working in Collin County that their Local Emergency Planning Committee will act effectively.
2. To provide a hazardous substances emergency response plan.
3. To educate the general public what to do in the event of an emergency. Since September 11, 2001, public awareness and desire for accurate information regarding basic self protection, preparedness and crisis management has never been greater. Statistically, a community is at greater risk from a meth lab, apartment fire, overturned fuel tanker, train derailment, manufacturing accident, or natural disaster than terrorism.
4. To work as a partner with business and industry to improve participation in mandatory Tier II Chemical annual reporting, and promote maximum utilization of Material Safety Data Sheets; increase awareness and emphasize importance of reporting significant releases and up-to-date inventories.
5. To educate and provide information to the general public that will enhance the performance of first responders and support agencies within Collin County and the region to be better prepared for an emergency.
