LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 79 State’s radiological capabilities and set up the joint/unified organization to receive any Federal assets such as the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center which is six hours away. The State Dose Assessment Center is organizationally designed to integrate with the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center organization. Working with the Federal and State assets, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services would direct and coordinate the assessment of deposition, calculate dose, and create recommendations to local decision-makers for reentry, return, relocation, and all agricultural impacts from the materials. The State could make a request to the LLNL EOC that LLNL utilize the Federal Radiological Assistance Program team at LLNL to assist with offsite monitoring. Such a request would be handled by the EOC per Section 6.1.3 of this plan. Under California law, the local jurisdiction (i.e., City of Livermore and Alameda County) has the responsibility for the safety of their public. If they do not have the capability to determine or respond to a risk, they would request assistance from the State (State Emergency Services Act). California Department of Public Health and the California Office of Emergency Services would make the calculation of the radiological risk and the recommendation to the local decision- makers. The State can recommend to the local jurisdiction, but the ultimate constitutional authority rests with local jurisdiction. The California Department of Public Health has the equipment for the immediate response to supplement the local capabilities by ACFD. Additionally, ACFD has the ability to request, through the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, monitoring support from the State’s Army National Guard 95th Civil Support Team that is based in Hayward. 7.3 Emergency Planning Hazards Assessments As an integral part of emergency preparedness, hazards surveys and assessments are performed and updated as needed. Specific Emergency Programs Organization plans/procedures discuss the requirements, processes, and procedures used to perform and document the facility EPHAs that form the quantitative technical bases for the LLNL emergency management program.
