LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-22 <br />January 2017 <br /> <br /> 77 <br />The following systems are utilized to satisfy these requirements: <br /> Phone Systems: Telephones, Cell Phones, Satellite Phones and Fax Machines <br /> Electronic Systems: Computers, Email, Emergency Programs Organization emergency <br />information notification system (AtHoc), TxtWire, and WebEOC <br /> Radio Systems: 400 MHz trunk radio system, LLNL pager system, and Ham Radios <br />(VERG) <br />The dedicated EVA system is the primary tool used to notify Site 200 workers of expected <br />protective actions and additional general information. Site 300 notifications are through the <br />administrative building page system or via 400 MHz radio system. <br />Another communications system used for both sites includes a dedicated emergency information <br />telephone message system (4-LLNL). <br />The LLNL trunk radio system through ACRECC provides for communication among emergency <br />responders and from the incident scene to the IC and the Battalion Chief. The EOC has the <br />capability of monitoring these radio communications. <br />When the emergency response facilities are operational, communications between the EOC and <br />the DOCs, including the JIC, will be made primarily via the WebEOC and Laboratory <br />telephone system. VERG, portable cellular/satellite telephones, and handheld 400 MHz radios <br />may be used as backup communications tools for inter-facility communications. <br />Communications systems or networks are maintained in a state of readiness through scheduled <br />operational tests. These tests and their periodicity, as well as communications issues identified <br />during actual events, drills and exercise, are documented in After Action Reports and tracked to <br />resolution. <br />6.2.4 Government Emergency Telecommunications Service and Wireless Priority <br />Service <br />The U.S. DHS National Communication Services provides the Government Emergency <br />Telecommunications Service and Wireless Priority Service to qualifying Federal, State, local, <br />and tribal government, industry, and non-governmental organizational personnel to assist them in <br />performing their national security/emergency preparedness missions during an emergency. <br />The Government Emergency Telecommunications Service is an emergency calling card service <br />that can be used from virtually any telephone to provide priority for outbound calls to all regular <br />telephone numbers. The Government Emergency Telecommunications Service uses the full <br />capacity of the public network, and is not a separate system with limited capacity. Use of the <br />Government Emergency Telecommunications Service increases the probability of call <br />completion on the landline segment of the Public Switched Telecommunications Network when <br />severe congestion and/or disruption conditions exist due to an emergency.
