The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) works with communities near chemical weapon stockpiles to enhance emergency plans and provide chemical accident response equipment and warning systems for emergencies. State and local emergency management officials team with the Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to improve their ability to protect communities.

Chemical stockpile emergency preparedness exercises are held in communities surrounding the two remaining chemical weapons stockpiles at Blue Grass Chemical Depot, Kentucky, and Pueblo Chemical Depot, Colorado, each year. The communities and states join the Army and FEMA to practice keeping the public safe in the unlikely event of a chemical stockpile accident.
