LLNL Emergency Management Plan Rev 24 January 2019 1.3.2 All-Hazards Technical Planning Basis An all-hazards technical planning basis underpins the concept of operations for LLNL's comprehensive emergency management system. This planning, prescribed by DOE Order 15 1.1 D, includes both an Emergency Management Core Program for all facilities, and a more robust Emergency Management Hazardous Materials Program for high hazard facilities. The Emergency Management Core Program coordinates and integrates the emergency planning and preparedness requirements of applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, and other Orders and standards of performance. As warranted, the Core Program is expanded to implement additional emergency management requirements of an Emergency Management Hazardous Materials Program, if hazardous materials pose a major threat to the health and safety of workers and the public. The All-Hazards Survey and Emergency Planning Hazards Assessments (EPHAs), if required, are the technical planning basis for the site's emergency management program. Although the elements comprising both the LLNL Emergency Management Core Program and the LLNL Emergency Management Hazardous Materials Program are described throughout this Emergency Plan, the scope and purposes of each are presented below. 1.3.2.1 Emergency Management Core Program Each DOE facility/site is required to establish an Emergency Management Core Program that provides the framework for response to serious or severe events that involve the health and safety of workers, the public, the environment, and safeguards and security. These events or conditions are not unique to DOE/NNSA operations. The specific requirements that constitute the LLNL Emergency Management Core Program are the all-hazards emergency planning and preparedness aspects of DOE Order 151.1D, as well as applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. The objective of the Emergency Management Core Program is to achieve an effective integration of emergency planning and preparedness requirements into an emergency management program that provides capabilities for comprehensive emergency management through communication, coordination, and an efficient and effective use of resources. The LLNL All-Hazards Survey, based on an examination of the features and characteristics of all LLNL facilities, identifies the generic types of emergency events and conditions and their potential impacts, as well as key components of the Emergency Management Core Program. For facilities involved in producing, processing, handling, storing, or transporting hazardous materials that have the potential to pose a serious threat to workers, the public, or the environment, the All-Hazards Survey provides a hazardous material screening process for determining whether further analysis of the hazardous materials in an EPHA is required. The thresholds at which further analysis is required are discussed in Section 1.3.2.2, "Emergency 7
