LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-22 January 2017 6 Support to the EOC and IC is provided by various line management organizations at LLNL (i.e., ES&H, Operations and Business, etc.). The Laboratory Director and/or designated executive staff gather to monitor the progress of the emergency and provide business continuity at the Executive Business Coordination Center (EBCC). A LEDO, if available, is assigned to the EBCC by the Emergency Director (ED) to serve as liaison with the EOC. 1.3.1 Comprehensive Emergency Management System The DOE requires all sites to implement a comprehensive emergency management system that considers and incorporates in its planning responses to a broad spectrum of hazards and possible consequences. The extent of emergency planning and preparedness for a particular LLNL building or facility corresponds to the type and amount of hazards and the potential effects on workers, the public, the environment and/or national security. The on-scene response and emergency management support described above comprise a portion of the overall integrated emergency management system at LLNL. Resources at LLNL sites from the Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) and the LLNL Security Organization provide the first response level for dealing with emergency incidents at LLNL, and they may be supported by the ES&H Teams, Facilities Management, and Health Services Department (HSD). If an incident should escalate beyond LLNL's pre-planned initial response, additional emergency response resources can be obtained through existing local, State, and Federal agreements. The emergency preparedness process is reviewed through self-assessment, LLNL assurance programs, annual exercises/drills, NNSA/LFO oversight, and NNSA/DOE Headquarters (HQ) review. The comprehensive emergency management system at LLNL also supports local area emergency response and mutual aid. This system provides successful working relations, local awareness of LLNL as a community partner, implementation of the California SEMS, and validation of LLNL’s integrated response capability. 1.3.2 Technical Planning Basis Technical planning underpins the concept of operations for LLNL’s comprehensive emergency management system. This planning, prescribed by DOE Order 151.1C and associated Emergency Management Guides, includes both an Operational Emergency Base Program for all facilities, and a more robust Operational Emergency Hazardous Material Program for high hazard facilities. The Operational Emergency Base Program coordinates and integrates the emergency planning and preparedness requirements of applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, and other Orders and standards of performance. As warranted, the Base Program
