Regional Emergency Management Committee

Central Vermont REMC Meeting Agendas, Packets, and Meeting Minutes

LEPC #5 Transitioning to Central Vermont REMC

CVRPC will be providing administrative support to the Central Vermont Regional Emergency Management Committee (REMC). REMCs are the new all-hazards group formed to coordinate emergency planning and preparedness in each region following the consolidation of LEPCs into one statewide LEPC.

Central Vermont REMC Background and Key Duties 

The Central Vermont REMC will coordinate and support regional all-hazards activities (planning, training, and exercising), in partnership with Vermont Emergency Management (VEM), the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), and the new Statewide Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).  CVRPC provides administrative support, including taking meeting minutes, with funding from VEM. REMCs will have access to competitive grant funding (e.g., Homeland Security, Hazard Mitigation).

The Central Vermont REMC will:

  • Meet at least quarterly.
  • Develop and maintain.
