The issues of increased protection of life and property are paramount for our communities, region, and state. This is the Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan (HMERP) for the Capitol Region Emergency Planning Committee (CREPC) representing a Regional - Local Emergency Planning Committee. The CREPC serves as the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) for twenty-nine member municipalities within the Capitol Region. The Capitol Region is the familiar name for the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) Region 3. DEMHS is a division of the CT-Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (CT-DESPP) This document provides regional hazardous materials emergency response guidance formed by consensus of the LEPC as represented by CREPC. It is further intended to reflect input and recommendations from member local government officials, emergency management representatives, environmental agencies (local, state and federal), industry, and those public representatives concerned with hazardous materials preparedness and response. Finally, it is anticipated that future planning, training, and exercising will be based on this collaborative document. A.
