The Emergency Planning Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) passed by congress in 1986 brought about the development of Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) within each state.
The City of Virginia Beach Local Emergency Planning Committee consists of representatives from the community, law enforcement, emergency medical services, fire services, local environmental agencies, health care, media, industry, and local officials.
If you would be interested in becoming a member of the Virginia Beach LEPC, please contact Erin Sutton at
