VFW HONORS COMMUNITY SERVICE CONTRIBUTORS VFW honored community members who helped further the efforts of the program in 2020. The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is a joint venture between the United States Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist state and local governments to improve emergency planning and preparedness in communities near the two remaining chemical weapons storage sites in the United States. Even though an accidental chemical agent release is highly unlikely, this planning process is important because it requires coordination of local military and civilian efforts and ensures that decisions will be made and carried out effectively in a crisis. In Kentucky, this partnership has brought together the Madison County Emergency Management Agency, Kentucky Division of Emergency Management, Blue Grass Chemical Activity, and Emergency Management agencies in Clark, Estill, Fayette, Jessamine, Garrard, Jackson, Laurel, Powell, and Rockcastle counties. In Rockcastle County, seven volunteer fire departments (Mt. Vernon, Brodhead, Livingston, Pongo, Brindle Ridge, Climax, and Western Rockcastle) along with Rockcastle EMS, and Rockcastle Emergency Management come together to provide support for the CSEPP program. Each year these groups come together and participate in a decontamination exercise to test the skills of the individuals along with the equipment. This is to ensure both fire department volunteers as well as the equipment needed are ready at all times. Additional partners to the CSEPP program here in Rockcastle County are Rockcastle County Schools, Rockcastle Regional Hospital, Rockcastle Health Department, R-Tech, and Christian Appalachian Project (CAP).
