3. 3 1. XML and XML Web Services XML is a standard for preserving and communicating information encoding, tagging, and internationalizing that will be everywhere.
Web Services provide communication between applications running on different Web servers that will bring the Internet to its new level.
XML Web Services are applications running on different devices that communicate XML data using XML messages.

Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPCs) provide a forum for emergency management agencies, responders, industry and the public to work together to understand chemical hazards in the community, develop emergency plans in case of an accidental release, and always look for ways to prevent chemical accidents. Local industries must provide information to LEPCs about chemical hazards, LEPCs are required by law to make this information available to any citizen who requests it. You can make a difference by attending an LEPC meeting or joining your LEPC.
Please Note: Currently we have over 3000 listings in our LEPC Database. It is our goal to provide the most current and accurate information. We look to the LEPC community to help us successfully meet this goal. Please forward any changes or corrections to Dana Robinson. These changes will be incorporated and updated monthly.
