5 <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: <br /> • GOAL: Create a Safe Community <br /> The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, <br /> gang activity, substance abuse, and domestic violence. <br /> The LEPC grant will be utilized to host a regional LEPC conference. This will serve <br /> to empower and educate our LEPC members, in addition to allowing them the <br /> opportunity to network with LEPC peers throughout the region. Ultimately, this <br /> builds a stronger orange County Local Emergency Planning Committee and thus <br /> a community that is more resilient to the effects of hazardous material incidents. <br /> • GOAL: Establish Sustainable and Equitable Land-Use and Environmental <br /> Policies <br /> The primary mission of the Local Emergency Planning Committee is to develop <br /> plans to mitigate the effects of hazardous materials within our community. A <br /> community's hazardous materials plan should address how environmental impacts <br /> are mitigated during a hazardous material incident. Although the LEPC is not a <br /> regulatory committee, it is empowered to make recommendations to elected <br /> bodies, public safety agencies, and facilities that store hazardous materials within <br /> Orange County. This grant will further promote the mission of the LEPC and <br /> empower the committee to function at their highest potential. <br /> Health Department <br /> 7.
