LLNL Emergency Management Plan(EPlan) Rev 26 January 2021 The Laboratory Director and/or designated executive staff gather to monitor the progress of the emergency and provide business continuity at the Executive Business Coordination Center (EBCC). A LEDO, if available, is assigned to the EBCC by the Emergency Director(ED) to serve as liaison with the EOC. The EOC serves as the Emergency Operations System for LLNL as required by DOE Order 151.1D as a means of providing centralized collection, validation, analysis, and coordination of information related to an emergency. 1.3.1 Comprehensive Emergency Management System The DOE requires all sites to implement a comprehensive emergency management system that considers and incorporates in its planning responses to a broad spectrum of hazards and possible consequences. The extent of emergency planning and preparedness for a particular LLNL building or facility corresponds to the type and amount of hazards and the potential effects on workers, the public, the environment and/or national security. The on-scene response and emergency management support described above comprise a portion of the overall integrated emergency management system at LLNL. Resources at LLNL sites from the Alameda County Fire Department(ACFD) and the LLNL Security Organization provide the first response level for dealing with emergency incidents at LLNL, and they may be supported by the ES&H Teams, Facilities Management, and Health Services Department(HSD). If an incident should escalate beyond LLNL's pre-planned initial response, additional emergency response resources can be obtained through existing local, State, and Federal agreements. The emergency preparedness process is reviewed through self-assessment, LLNL assurance programs, annual exercises/drills,NNSA/LFO oversight, and DOE/NNSA Headquarters (HQ) review. The comprehensive emergency management system at LLNL also supports local area emergency response and mutual aid. This system provides successful working relations, local awareness of LLNL as a community partner, implementation of the California SEMS, and validation of LLNL's integrated response capability. 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 151.1D, 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 6
