The mission of the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) is to protect the citizens of the State of Nevada against the negative effects of hazardous materials. The SERC is the executive agency for Nevada's compliance with the federal Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act, Title III, also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. As mandated by this Act, SERC is responsible for collecting information from fixed facilities regarding the use and storage of hazardous materials. The information is provided to the public and first responders for both planning and reference purposes through a combined database coordinated with the State Fire Marshal's Office. Pursuant to NRS, fees are collected on the reports submitted. These funds support the Local Emergency Planning Committees and state agencies with equipment, training, and planning activities needed to prevent and respond to hazardous material incidents. Statutory Authority: 42 U.S.C. 11001; NRS 459.735 through NRS 459.744.
