Nevada SERC
The Nevada State
Emergency Response Commission (SERC) was established in 1987 in compliance
with the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
which is a stand-alone law passed as part of the Superfund Amendment and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) and is found as SARA Title III.
Currently the SERC consists of 17
members appointed by the Governor representing state and local government
organizations, private industry, and general public. The mission of the
SERC is, "Protect the citizens of the State of Nevada against the negative
effects of hazardous materials."
The main functions of the SERC
include: coordinate and supervise the activities of the Local Emergency
Planning Committees (LEPCs); ensure each LEPC has an approved Hazardous
Materials Emergency Response Plan; collect chemical inventory reports;
provide funds through grants, and process requests from the public for
information.
