LLNL Emergency Management Plan Rev 24 January 2019 3 OFFSITE RESPONSE INTERFACES 3.1 Overview In the event of an emergency at LLNL, a number of offsite resources are available for mitigation, response, and recovery activities to augment onsite assets. It is the purpose of this section to briefly describe those Federal, State, local, and private agencies that may be involved in an Operational Emergency response. In addition, the interfaces between LLNL and these agencies are discussed, including documented agreements. The Emergency Programs Organization is the point-of-contact with offsite agencies for non- security emergency planning,preparedness, and response. This includes, but is not limited to, offsite planning coordination for LLNL, inter-agency meetings, and information transfer. The Fire Department has ongoing contacts with local response agencies through mutual aid agreements and actual response. LLNL PAO is the point-of-contact with offsite agencies in the area of public education. Additionally, the Department Head of EMD and the Emergency Programs Organization Manager meet regularly with their counterparts from the three other Bay Area DOE facilities (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories/California, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) to discuss common issues and approaches to emergency management, as well as resource sharing during emergency events. MOUS, Memoranda of Agreement(MOAs), and mutual aid agreements exist among specific functional LLNL organizations and departments and their counterparts. The Security Organization develops and signs security/law enforcement-related MOUS for LLNL. The EMD develops and signs MOUS related to the fire/emergency medical services/HazMat arena and provides these services at LLNL under contract with the ACFD. The EMD also develops and signs MOUs associated with local medical facilities. A list of the existing MOUS/MOAs is located in the current Emergency Readiness Assurance Plan. In addition, DOE/NNSA maintains a number of emergency response assets and inter-agency agreements with other Federal agencies that may be called upon for support. LLNL has mutual aid agreements and understandings with local, county, State, and national organizations including: • Alameda County • Alameda County Sheriff's Office • California Department of Forestry& Fire Protection • California Highway Patrol • City of Livermore • City of Tracy 48
