The LEPC accepts reports for both Lewis and Upshur Counties and their respective county Office of Emergency Management.  The records are kept on file in the Upshur County Office of Emergency Management.  Anyone wishing to examine the records under the Right to Know Law should contact Mr. Farry at 304-472-4983 to make arrangements.

• Do not send any money to the LEPC, all fees are submitted to the state.
• Sending a copy to the LEPC does not fulfill the requirement of sending a copy to the local fire department.
