LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-23 <br />October 2017 <br /> <br /> 57 <br />4.1.2 Alternate Emergency Operations Center <br />If habitability or accessibility issues preclude use of the EOC at Site 200, the EOC location will <br />move to the LLNS corporate office in downtown Livermore. This office has been specifically <br />outfitted with communications equipment to support functioning as an alternate location for the <br />LLNL EOC. Per requirements, this location for the alternate EOC falls outside of the one-mile <br />EPZ. <br />4.1.3 Department Operations Centers <br />The Laboratory uses DOCs as technical support centers. These centers are located throughout <br />LLNL within organizations that may be called upon by the ED to ensure an adequate level of <br />support for the onsite response and recovery activities. These organizations may include the <br />PAO, the Security Organization (TOC), and Site 300. Each DOC maintains the communications <br />and information management capabilities that are necessary to enable connectivity with the <br />EOC. The physical configuration of individual DOCs is the responsibility of each organization <br />but includes, at a minimum, telephone, fax, WebEOC connectivity, and VERG support. <br />Site 300 has the capability to operate independently using their DOC in the event of an incident <br />primarily affecting that site. The Site 300 DOC may be activated at the request of the on-scene <br />IC, the Site 300 manager, or the on-duty LEDO. In the event of Site 300 DOC activation, the <br />Site 200 EOC may also be activated at the discretion of the LEDO, should the emergency <br />warrant notifications or additional emergency resources from the Livermore site. <br />4.1.4 Fire Department Stations <br />ACFD under contract to LLNS maintains fire department stations at two LLNL locations that are <br />staffed 24 hours-a-day. Staffing consist of a minimum of two three-person engine companies at <br />Site 200 (Station 20) and one four-person company at Site 300 (Station 21). <br />ACFD Station 20 houses fire apparatus, firefighters and LLNL EMD Department Office and Fire <br />Protection Division staff. ACFD Station 20 is nominally 18,000 square feet in area and was <br />renovated in 1996. The contract with ACFD provides that Station 20 is staffed as a “HazMat” <br />station and all firefighters assigned to that station are certified Hazardous Materials Technicians <br />and all officers are certified Hazardous Materials Specialists. <br />ACFD Station 21 houses fire apparatus, firefighters and officers. Station 21 is nominally <br />6,800 square feet in area and was placed in service in September 1999. <br />Both facilities are designed to meet Uniform Building Code seismic standards for an important <br />facility. As such, they are designed to remain functional after a major earthquake. Both stations <br />are connected to back-up generators that will provide power during an extended power outage.
