LLNL Emergency Management Plan Rev 24 January 2019 2.2.1 Succession of Authority When an event requires activation and operation of the EOC, the on-duty LEDO becomes the ED and the back-up LEDO becomes the Liaison Officer. If the on-duty LEDO does not arrive for duty in a timely manner, an attempt should be made immediately by emergency management personnel in the EOC to contact the on-duty LEDO. After initial attempts to contact the on-duty LEDO are unsuccessful, the back-up LEDO should assume command and task EOC personnel with contacting another LEDO to fulfill the role of Liaison Officer. In the unlikely event that no LEDO is available to assume the role of ED, the Emergency Management Coordinator(EMC) will contact the Director's Office, who will designate and authorize a temporary ED by providing instruction of his/her responsibilities under this Emergency Plan and associated plans/procedures. 2.2.2 General Concept of Operations • Persons discovering an abnormal event/condition immediately notify either Security, Fire Dispatch, or their supervisors who, in turn, notify Fire Dispatch or Security. • The twenty-four-hour notification point for LLNL"911" calls is Fire Dispatch/ACRECC located at Site 200. Fire Dispatch initiates response by notifying appropriate onsite emergency resources, typically under the command/control of the IC. All 911 calls to ACRECC are monitored by Security's Central Alarm Station (CAS), who dispatches the Protective Force Division(PFD). • The ACFD Battalion Chief or LLNL SDO will gather information about the incident and relay it to the EMDO to determine the categorization/classification of the event/situation. The ACFD or LLNL Security Organization will implement initial protective actions and, if required,provide protective action recommendations to appropriate offsite authorities (e.g., Livermore/Pleasanton Fire Department [LPFD], Livermore Police Department [LPD], Alameda County Sheriff's Office [ACSO], etc.). • After the EOC becomes operational, the IC retains responsibility for operational control of the response at the incident scene and for protecting only what is defined as the incident scene. Any onsite areas outside of the incident scene fall under the protection of the ED. The IC and the ED must therefore have a conversation to define and agree on what falls within the incident scene onsite. This decision should be briefed to responders at the scene and to the ERO. • Protection of offsite areas always remains the responsibility of the ACFD or local law enforcement(i.e., LPD or ACSO). For hazardous material releases, the ACFD has legal authority and responsibility to take appropriate actions (evacuation, shelter-in-place, etc.)necessary to protect the public and residents of the county. This includes the unilateral decision authority to alert the public of a hazardous incident, restrict or close access of public areas, and/or evacuate an affected area. The authority 28
