Give all other significant information that may help the Fire Department, HEALTH DEPARTMENT <br />including: <br />• Size of the fire, <br />• Materials at risk, <br />• Potential involvement of waste and other hazardous substances, and <br />• Nature of injuries. <br />6. Remain on the phone (if it is safe to do so) or standby on the radio to verify the <br />information given and receive further instructions. <br />7. Notify the WAA Coordinator. <br />8. Take appropriate actions to mitigate the emergency before the LLNL Fire <br />Department arrives, including restricting access to the affected area and giving <br />emergency aid to the injured. <br />9. Standby or direct someone to meet the Fire Department to direct them to the <br />incident. <br />If the WAA Operator is incapacitated, any cognizant individual at the WAA shall take the <br />actions previously outlined in items 1 through 9 until the arrival of the Incident <br />Commander. <br />4.2.2 Earthquakes <br />Major earthquakes fall in the category of a large incident as defined in Section 1.2. If <br />you are inside a WAA when an earthquake occurs, duck and cover. Avoid containers <br />holding waste. After the shaking has stopped, proceed in an orderly manner to the <br />designated assembly point for your area unless directed otherwise. If you are outside <br />when an earthquake occurs, proceed to the designated Assembly Point. The Assembly <br />Point Leader will coordinate an accounting of personnel and provide instructions. If you <br />are leaving a building, be alert for persons who may be trapped or injured, fire, chemical <br />spills, or structural damage. Report such information to the Assembly Point Leader. Do <br />not re-enter a building until it has been cleared for re-entry by a member of the <br />Emergency Facilities Engineering Support Team. <br />4.2.3 Power Outages <br />The normal operating hours of the WAA are from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday <br />through Thursday. Normal waste management operations in the WAA do not require <br />power, and, therefore, power outages will not have a significant impact on their <br />operation. However, if emergency lighting is needed for any reason, portable <br />generators and floodlights are available from Maintenance & Utilities Services <br />Department (the generators are not explosion -proof, and must not be used near <br />flammable or combustible vapors). <br />13 January 2016 <br />
