The Fayette County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and the Fayette County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) entered an agreement for the EMA to perform LEPC duties—including emergency plans, exercises, training, compliance, and facility hazard analyses—during fiscal year July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027.
