Tier II Reporting Guidelines

The SERC requires a consistent and monitored email address for each facility.

Reports are due by March 1st of the following year.

A copy of the report must filed with the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) through the online portal. 

Facilities are also required to submit their Tier II reports to the local fire department and the Local/Regional Emergency Planning Committee LEPC/REPC).

The State of New Hampshire utilizes a web portal for the submission of Tier II Reports to the State Emergency Response Commission.

• All aerial photos and site diagrams should be "north-justified." The top of the photo or document should be "north."
• In general, site photos/ aerial photos with labeling are preferable to word/text documents
