LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) <br />Rev 27 <br />January 2022 <br /> <br /> 41 <br />2.3.3 Department Operations Centers <br />Essential response organizations at LLNL may have DOCs that provide technical support to the <br />EOC and manage their field and/or regulatory responses from these centers. These DOCs are <br />located at various sites throughout the Laboratory. These centers are connected with the EOC via <br />the Common Operating Picture System (COPS) database and by telephone. Individual DOC <br />Plans outline the operations specific to each DOC’s response activities. The DOC Plans are <br />reviewed periodically by PPD staff and revisions recommended to reflect changes to this <br />Emergency Plan. <br />2.3.3.1 Public Affairs Office <br />The PAO DOC coordinates and releases LLNL information to employees and the public. It also <br />functions as the focal point for outside news inquiries associated with the emergency. <br />2.3.3.2 Security Organization’s Tactical Operations Center <br />LLNL’s PFD staffs the TOC, which supports the Security IC in tactical matters and the <br />Laboratory’s Emergency Management Team in Operational Emergency response. If the <br />emergency is security driven, and if the TOC is activated, the center can serve as the primary <br />support for the Security IC. The TOC also serves as the point-of-contact for outside law <br />enforcement agencies. <br />2.3.3.3 Site 300 <br />The Site 300 DOC coordinates the emergency activities of Site 300 and reports results to the <br />LEDO or to the ED if the Livermore site EOC is operational. In addition to the emergency <br />response resources integral to Site 300, additional support may be drawn from Site 200. <br />2.3.4 Executive Business Coordination Center <br />In the EBCC, the Laboratory Director and/or designated executive staff gather to monitor the <br />progress of the emergency, provide business continuity, facilitate implementation of LLNL <br />Continuity of Operations plans, and maintain contact with the LLNS parent companies in <br />accordance with LLNS notification policies and protocols. A LEDO, if available, is assigned to <br />the EBCC by the ED to provide liaison with the EOC. The LLNL Directors Office has <br />responsibility for coordinating procedures and policies for the operation of the EBCC. <br />Members of the EBCC include: <br />• Laboratory Director/Deputy Director (or designee) <br />• EOC liaison (a LEDO) <br />• PAO liaison, as needed <br />• Associate Director (or designee) as necessary to address issues of continued <br />operations
