LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 96 Prior to emergency termination, the incident scene must be preserved so critical evidence will not be lost. This evidence is needed to determine what caused the incident (the root cause of the event) and prepare a formal accident report in accordance with Part 4: Feedback and Improvement of the ES&H Manual. Requirements and guidance for scene preservation are found in Contractor Assurance Office procedure PRO-0081, Accident/Incident Scene Management (Post Emergency Response). The incident scene has the potential to be a crime scene; as such, appropriate actions need to be taken to preserve the scene until appropriate law enforcement assumes control, if applicable. The ED, IC, or ES&H Team Leader will use established reentry provisions when the emergency condition has stabilized and radiological or other hazardous material releases, if any, have been controlled and contained within established limits. The IC or ES&H Team Leader must authorize reentry actions that are conducted prior to the termination of the emergency. Operational planning for facility reentry is the responsibility of the IC or ES&H Team Leader until the emergency has been terminated and will require detailed planning and consideration of safety precautions, including the use of appropriate protective clothing, respiratory protection, and specific criteria for aborting reentry. The ED is responsible for appointing a Recovery Manager, with concurrence of line management and the EBCC, who is knowledgeable of the affected facility and will be responsible for developing and coordinating plans and schedules for recovery operations for both the facility and LLNL site. Plans and schedules for recovery operations must consider methods for protecting workers, other onsite personnel, and the general public. Once a Recovery Manager has been appointed, local planning for facility-level recovery will require Recovery Manager approval of a Recovery Plan. The EOC, in coordination with NNSA/LFO and appropriate offsite agencies, is the focal point for the development of information to be disseminated to Federal, State, and local organizations regarding the emergency status and recovery operations. Recovery planning status information for the public will be released through appropriate State/local government agencies at either the JIC or individual agency public affairs offices. 11.2.1 Recovery Organization Prior to emergency termination, a recovery organization will be established by the appropriate line management and led by a designated Recovery Manager. Support staff to the recovery organization may include, but is not limited to, advisors from the following: Environmental Functional Area, Worker, Safety & Health Functional Area, HSD, Operations and Business, PAO, and the Security Organization. Administrative, logistical, communications, and personnel support for the recovery effort are the responsibility of the Recovery Manager’s department or program.
