Who Can Join?

The Resource Council/LEPC is open to any organization with an interest in public safety and hazardous materials safety in our community.  Members include local businesses that use, manufacture, distribute, and/or transport hazardous materials in our community, as well as government response organizations and non-government emergency responders.

Who Benefits from the Council?

Members benefit from the Council by having quick access to a wide variety of equipment and expertise regarding hazardous materials; however, the true beneficiaries are the citizens of Cobb County.  Having the Council network resources before an incident places Haz-Mat responders in a proactive position to handle a hazardous materials incident more quickly and efficiently.  The progressive approach significantly reduces the risk of loss of life or environmental damage during an incident.
