INTRODUCTION Emergencies involving hazardous materials (HazMat) require detailed pre-planning at the local- level. The Allen County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is the body responsible for this planning. It is essential that response agencies understand the use of an integrated Incident Command System (ICS) under the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The inclusion of support agencies will increase the need for coordination during the emergency. If the local capabilities are overwhelmed, support may come from other jurisdictions such as mutual aid partners as well as State or Federal agencies. The use of these resources may be coordinated by the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) depending on the type of incident/accident and the level of response. A. Scope of Hazardous Materials Response Allen County is continually at risk from a HazMat incident. The number of fixed sites using hazardous materials locally is moderate to heavy, and the county is vulnerable to accidents involving these materials. Release of hazardous materials can come from fixed sites but is more likely to occur from transportation incidents on highways and/or railroads in the county. This Plan was developed to help Allen County officials and first responders prepare and respond to HazMat incidents. These plans and procedures recognize Allen County emergency response agencies normally have the resources to respond to a serious HazMat incident including a Level III incident. A Level III incident is defined as full emergency situation and involves severe potential exposure for the responders and the general public. B. Purpose Primary responsibility for the safety and welfare of the residents of Allen County rests with the respective local governments as well as city and county officials. This Plan is based on a response at the local level of government; however, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) may be called on to assist by providing State resources. The IDHS will coordinate State agencies, and if deemed necessary, request a Presidential Declaration through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This type of declaration allows supplemental Federal financial and technical assistance. The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide effective, coordinated emergency
