Meetings-Agenda and Minutes

The State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) generally meets on the 3rd Thursday of odd numbered months. 
Meetings begin at 1:30 pm unless otherwise noted and last approximately two hours. 

The purpose of the meetings is to address EPCRA state and local issues and advance interagency coordination.  The meetings also offer the opportunity for commission members, attendees, and public participants to become familiar with each other's roles and responsibilities in the state and communities.  A meeting agenda is available at least six (6) days prior to any regular meeting.  Regular meetings are restricted to agenda items only.  No other business may be considered except by a majority vote of members present and voting.  The agenda identifies specific issues to be discussed as well as guest speakers.  The SERC operates under Bylaws. The SERC meetings are open to the public.  Anyone interested in attending a meeting of the Connecticut SERC should contact the SERC at DEEP.CTEPCRA@ct.gov or 860-424-3024 to verify the meeting location.  Past meeting agendas and minutes are linked below for recent years.
