(c) All emergency response information submitted or made available to the Health Officer pursuant to this section, shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to the public unless required by compelling circumstances constituting an imminent danger to public health. The Council hereby finds and declares that this information, were it accessible to the general public, may be potentially used to sabotage, destroy, or otherwise damage industrial facilities. The Council further declares pursuant to Government Code Section 6255, that the public interest served by not making such information public, clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of such information.
