LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 50 3.2 Other Federal Agencies The FBI maintains primary jurisdiction under the Atomic Energy Act for incidents involving the protection of special nuclear material and any crime involving Federal property. In an emergency situation involving security incidents, the FBI may be notified by the Security Organization (after consultation with NNSA/LFO) and be provided workspace in the EOC or the TOC, as necessary. The FBI has the authority to assume command from the LLNL ED during a situation involving a security threat. Under these circumstances, the ED is responsible for ensuring that the LLNL ERO implements FBI orders. The Fire Department IC retains non-security command and control at the scene. 3.3 Tribal Organizations There are no tribal organizations with emergency response or regulatory control responsibilities relevant to LLNL. 3.4 State Government The ACSO’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services takes the lead for offsite response when notified of an emergency at LLNL. In that lead role, they would coordinate with the State for assistance and resources. The State of California’s emergency assistance is based on a state-wide mutual aid system designed to ensure that additional resources are provided to and among local jurisdictions whenever their own resources are committed or inadequate. State agencies are obligated to provide available resources to assist local jurisdictions in emergencies at the direction of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. The DHS developed a NIMS Homeland Security Presidential Directive–5, Management of Domestic Incidents. NIMS is similar to California’s SEMS which was adopted through legislation and regulation in the 1990’s. Under SEMS, the State’s assistance is accessed by requesting resources through the operational area coordinator and the ASCO’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. Fire and mutual aid resources are requested through the local and State mutual aid system. The Fire Department, operated by the ACFD, complies with the requirements of SEMS/NIMS for First Responders. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is the lead State agency in any response to assist Alameda County and is responsible for making state-wide resources available. The California State Department of Health Services provides trained personnel to assist with monitoring and decontaminating personnel, evaluating the extent of any contamination, and monitoring offsite ingestion pathways.
