South Bend, Washington – The Pacific County Emergency Management Agency will be coordinating two Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan Workshops on Friday, June 20th, 2014.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act requires that each county and local municipality adopt a Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan to be reviewed by the State Emergency Response Commission, (SERC) and approved by Pacific County Emergency Management Agency Council (PCEMA). Currently Pacific County has an (SERC) approved Hazardous Materials Response Plan, however, the Pacific County Emergency Management Agency has received federal funding to revise and develop a more comprehensive and effective ESF 10, Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan for Pacific County.
The workshops will be conducted on June 20th at the following locations and times:
· 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. - Pacific County Courthouse Annex, Board of County Commissioners' Meeting Room, 1216 Robert Bush Drive, South Bend
· 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. - South Pacific County Administration Facility, Meeting Room A, 7013 Sandridge Road, Long Beach.
The purpose of the updated plan will be to demonstrate local commitment to reduce risks from hazardous materials. The plan will serve as a guide for decision-makers as they commit resources to reducing the effects of hazardous materials. Local data and feedback will be essential to ensuring that the updated plan is relevant to community risks and needs.
The public is welcome, and representatives from local fire districts, hospitals, city governments, schools, and businesses are encouraged to submit data and feedback. If you would like to have your comments heard but are unable to attend, you may email them to esf10pacific@gmail.com by 5:00 p.m. on June 19th, 2014.
