Old process required a full-time employee to manage
the paper based process.
-
The Tier II chemical information was not available for
first responders.
-
The Tier II reports were warehoused in a filing cabinet
in the office. Only the LEPC Coordinator had access to
the information.
-
No assessment of risks for each chemical sites.
-
Very prone to error since couldn't catch whether
chemicals were EHS.
-
Hard to compare inventories for prior years.
-
Emergency Response plans were not reliable because
they were more than 4+ years out of date.
-
No vulnerability analysis process was in place so they
had to rely on a standard .50 mile radius around each site.
-
Due to the standard .50 vulnerability assessment, all
240 schools throughout the county spent hundreds of hours developing risk plans.
