LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-22 <br />January 2017 <br /> <br /> 41 <br />2.4 Activation of the Emergency Response Organization and Response <br />Facilities <br />2.4.1 Operational Emergency Activation <br />In the event of an Operational Emergency, the EMDO will: <br />1. Notify the LEDO <br />2. Activate the ERO, based on event categorization/classification and in accordance with the <br />Emergency Plan and associated plans/procedures (see Table 2.3). Activation of all <br />facilities is automatic for General Emergencies. Activation of all facilities, except the JIC <br />(LEDO discretion in consultation with the PAO Manager), is automatic for Site Area <br />Emergencies. For other emergency events, Operational Emergencies at the Alert level or <br />Operational Emergencies Not Requiring Further Classification, activation is based on <br />LEDO guidance. <br />3. Provide initial offsite notifications. <br />The time it takes to declare the EOC “operational” during normal working hours is within sixty <br />(60) minutes of ERO activation notification. During non-working hours, EOC “operational” <br />status is within a minimum of 60 minutes and a maximum of 120 minutes of ERO activation <br />notification. <br />The EOC organizational structure develops in a top-down modular fashion that is based on the <br />size and complexity of the incident. The staffing level or functional areas are determined based <br />on the need to effectively manage the incident. The ED may declare the EOC operational when <br />he/she has sufficient organization staffing. <br />The key staffing or functional areas for declaring the EOC operational would include: <br /> Management functional area: <br />o ED <br />o PIM (either in the EOC or direct communications established [e.g., PAO DOC or <br />JIC)]) <br />o EMC/EOC Coordinator <br /> Operations Section functional area: <br />o Operations Section Chief <br /> Planning & Intelligence Section functional area: <br />o P&I Chief <br />o CQT Analyst (HazMat incidents only) <br />o Notifications Officer <br /> <br />Once the EOC is declared operational by the ED, there should be an initial briefing for the EOC <br />staff by the EOC Coordinator and an initial telephone "bridgeline" call between the EOC/ED and <br />Incident Commander to establish basic situational awareness and a common operating picture for <br />the ERO.
