LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 If the Operational Emergency involves or has the potential to involve significant quantities of hazardous materials, the EMDO may classify the event as an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency,brief the LEDO, call-out the ERO, and initiate offsite agency notifications. The LEDO notifies the Director's Office and other applicable senior LLNL and LLNS management in accordance with notification policies and protocols. The ERO will be called out via the Emergency Programs Organization's emergency information notification system (AtHoc), a digital system that uses telephones to relay appropriate event information. A manual call-out back-up system, utilizing the ORDO, is also available. The EMDO has the responsibility for offsite notifications until the EOC has been declared operational and the on-duty LEDO has assumed the role of ED and accepts responsibility for all subsequent notifications. 6.1.3 Departmental Radiological Emergency Response Assets When there is a need for offsite DOE/NNSA national assets to support an onsite emergency response, the ED will make a request through NNSA/LFO. Position checklists for the LFO Emergency Manager(LFO 151.1.1,Emergency Response Oversight) and the LLNL ED (EPO-Checklist-03,Emergency Director) ensure requests for national assets are properly coordinated through LFO when the EOC is activated. If an onsite emergency is not in progress, requests for national assets will be directed to the LEDO, who will forward the request to the LLNL Deployment Point-of-Contact per the current version of the LEDO Quick Reference Handbook. The LLNL Deployment Point-of-Contact coordinates the request with LFO, who approves or denies the request. 6.1.4 NNSA Field and Headquarters Operations Center Watch Office Notifications The EMDO has the responsibility for offsite notifications until the EOC has been declared operational and the on-duty LEDO has assumed the role of ED and accepts responsibility for all subsequent notifications. Upon declaration of an Operational Emergency, the NNSA/LFO Emergency Management SME and the DOE/NNSA HQ Operations Center Watch Office are notified via telephone, telefax and/or e-mail, as a part of the offsite notification process per Emergency Programs Organization plans/procedures. They will also be notified via the Emergency Programs Organization's emergency information notification system as a back-up. The NNSA/LFO Emergency Management SME and DOE/NNSA HQ Operations Center Watch Office will continue to receive subsequent notifications and updates throughout the emergency. Additionally, under DOE Order 15 1.1 D, if the LLNL EOC is activated for an incident not categorized as an Operational Emergency, LLNL must notify LFO and the DOE Headquarters Watch Office within 30 minutes of the EOC becoming operational. 72
