LLNL Emergency Management Plan(EPlan) Rev 26 January 2021 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 EPO 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 EPO 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.
