The Dougherty County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), composed of industry, business and community emergency response groups and concerned citizens, is working to improve the awareness level of people in the community to potential chemical hazards and appropriate emergency measures. The LEPC also works to improve the community's capability to pre-plan for an emergency involving hazardous materials.
 
The Dougherty County LEPC was established in March 1995, under charter from the Dougherty County Commission and the Georgia State Emergency Response Commission (SERC).
 
The LEPC works closely with the Emergency Management Office to maintaining a Community Emergency Response Plan and to conducting training exercises to practice and evaluate the plan.
