Shelter In Place (SIP) Outreach By LEPCs Across the U.S. and Others |
|
Most of the examples below, from
around the U.S., were highlighted at the Baltimore Region LEPC
booth
at the EPA Region 3 Chemical
Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Conference
held in December
2002 in Baltimore, Maryland.
The idea of the examples at the
LEPC booth, and what continues on this webpage,
was and is to show
the variety out there by different LEPCs (and others) across the
U.S.
The examples also show that
different presentations may convene the same ideas in different
ways.
NOTES: (1) These examples are
not a complete listing of all of the LEPC websites that present or discuss
SIP.
(2) There is no set order to the
examples within the various tables presented
below.
Please contact
the LEPC Information Exchange (use form on main page or
new email address: lepcinfoexchange@comcast.net) if you
want a hard copy
of any of the
items if the link is not working or if the item is only available in hard
