LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-22 <br />January 2017 <br /> <br /> 30 <br />2.3 Emergency Management Operations and Personnel <br />The LLNL ERO is divided into two categories: Field Level First Responder and Emergency <br />Management through the EOC. Non-uniformed ERO staff are annually issued identification <br />cards by the EMD. These cards are signed by the Department Head of EMD and authorize access <br />to LLNL emergency operations and support facilities (i.e., EOC, DOCs). <br />2.3.1 Field Emergency Response Organization <br />The field ERO is called out to respond and mitigate the emergency situation. The ERO operates <br />under the ICS, and is operational within minutes of activation. <br />To ensure an acceptable level of emergency response capability, the size and configuration of the <br />field ERO is maintained to provide an overall response capability that includes the application of <br />the necessary level of resources to mitigate consequences to workers, the public, the <br />environment, national security and to initiate recovery from an Operational Emergency. <br />The field ERO consists of personnel from the Fire Department (Fire, HazMat, Emergency <br />Medical Services), the ES&H Teams and the Security Organization. During normal working <br />hours or for major off-hour incidents, an individual from EMD will respond to the incident <br />command post to serve as an On-Scene Communicator of critical information between the IC <br />and key elements of the LLNL emergency organization. <br />2.3.1.1 Alameda County Fire Department <br />The onsite Fire Department has primary responsibility for providing the LLNL and Sandia <br />National Laboratories/California with emergency response services for fire, technical rescue, <br />hazardous materials, and emergency medical incidents. The onsite Fire Department is <br />administratively a part of the EMD and is operated and staffed by ACFD under contract to <br />LLNS. Two full-time stations are staffed by the ACFD at LLNL with firefighters at Site 200 <br />(Station #20) and at Site 300 (Station #21). A Battalion Chief is on duty for all LLNL <br />emergencies, and resides at Station #20. <br />The ACFD also operates the ACRECC. Located at LLNL, the center also coordinates mutual aid <br />request for the County of Alameda. <br />The contract with ACFD for emergency response services at LLNL is administered and <br />monitored by EMD's Fire Protection Division Leader, who serves as the LLNS Technical <br />Representative for the contract. <br />See Sections 4.1.4 and 4.1.6 for a description on the ACFD equipment and ACRECC operations <br />at LLNL.
