The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is a federally mandated entity composed of state and local officials, business representatives and members of the public.

The Larimer County LEPC works with the community to identify industrial hazardous materials and keep the community informed of the potential risk.

All companies that have certain types and quantities of hazardous chemicals must report annually to the LEPC.

If you are evacuated, here are tips that could put your mind at ease.

"Homeowners who need extra money while they're evacuated from their homes can get immediate living expenses under their homeowners insurance policies,"said Carole Walker, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.

Before Wildfire

Remove excess trees, dead trees and shrubs, and highly flammable shrubs. (Removing large trees near your house can be very dangerous for both you and your house, and is therefore a job for a skilled contractor.) Rather than plant shrubs near your house, consider landscaping alternatives such as creating a rock garden. Remove leaves and pine needles from roofs, gutters and downspouts. Prune low tree branches and mow-dried grass. Remove combustible items from around the house, such as woodpiles, patio furniture, barbecue grills, etc.
