LLNL Emergency Management Plan(EPlan) Rev 26 January 2021 2.3 Emergency Management Operations and Personnel The LLNL ERO is divided into two categories: Field-Level First Responder and Emergency Management through the EOC. Non-uniformed ERO staff are annually issued identification cards by the EMD. These cards are signed by the Department Head of EMD and authorize access to LLNL emergency operations and support facilities (i.e., EOC, DOCs). 2.3.1 Field Emergency Response Organization The field ERO is called out to respond and mitigate the emergency situation. The ERO operates under the ICS, and is operational within minutes of activation. To ensure an acceptable level of emergency response capability, the size and configuration of the field ERO is maintained to provide an overall response capability that includes the application of the necessary level of resources to mitigate consequences to workers, the public, the environment, national security and to initiate recovery from an Operational Emergency. The field ERO consists of personnel from the Fire Department(Fire, HazMat, Emergency Medical Services), the ES&H Teams and the Security Organization. During normal working hours or for major off-hour incidents, an individual from EMD will respond to the incident command post to serve as an On-Scene Communicator of critical information between the IC and key elements of the LLNL emergency organization. 2.3.1.1 Alameda County Fire Department The onsite Fire Department has primary responsibility for providing the LLNL and Sandia National Laboratories/California with emergency response services for fire, technical rescue, hazardous materials, and emergency medical incidents. The onsite Fire Department is administratively a part of the EMD and is operated and staffed by ACFD under contract to LLNS. Two full-time stations are staffed by the ACFD at LLNL with firefighters at Site 200 (Station 20) and at Site 300 (Station 21). A Battalion Chief is on duty for all LLNL emergencies, and resides at Station 20. The ACFD also operates the ACRECC. Located at LLNL, the center also coordinates mutual aid request for Alameda County. The contract with ACFD for emergency response services at LLNL is administered and monitored by EMD's Fire and Building Safety Division Leader, who serves as the LLNS Technical Representative for the contract. See Sections 4.1.4 and 4.1.6 for a description on the ACFD equipment and ACRECC operations at LLNL. 32
