LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 5 • Public Affairs Office Director • Office of General Counsel • Fire Protection Division Manager • Emergency Programs Organization Manager • Emergency Management Department Head In addition to the distribution above, controlled copies of this Emergency Plan are stored in the Emergency Programs Organization files and are provided to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the NNSA/LFO, and others as per established distribution lists. Uncontrolled copies of this Emergency Plan are maintained on the Emergency Preparedness & Planning website, distributed within LLNL, and are offered to appropriate offsite entities listed in Section 3.1. 1.2 Scope This Emergency Plan addresses and applies a description of emergency preparedness and response to an emergency as defined in DOE Order 151.1D, which is stated to be "Any incident, whether natural or manmade, that could endanger or adversely affect people, property, or the environment, and that requires responsive action beyond normal operations. An “Operational Emergency” is a term used to categorize a specific type of emergency." This Emergency Plan applies to the Livermore site (Site 200), Site 300, and LLNL facilities contained therein; additionally, it applies to the employees, visitors, and contractors performing work onsite for the Laboratory. 1.3 Concept of Operations When an emergency occurs, this Emergency Plan is invoked through implementing documents for response to the emergency. Routinely designated LLNL emergency responders, such as fire, Environment, Safety, and Health (ES&H) Teams, Hazardous Material (HazMat), medical/emergency medical services, and Security Organization/law enforcement, provide on- scene response. The Incident Commander (IC) through a Unified Command structure directs emergency response. The Emergency Management Duty Officer (EMDO) is onsite or on-call at all times, and is responsible for categorizing Operational Emergencies and further classifying Operational Emergencies as Alerts, Site Area Emergencies, or General Emergencies, if required. The EMDO is also responsible for verifying the initial protective actions taken by the IC and making initial required DOE and offsite agency notifications. In addition, the EMDO is responsible for activating the ERO. Activation level may be determined in consultation with the Laboratory Emergency Duty Officer (LEDO). The LEDO, who is onsite or on-call at all times, represents the Laboratory Director.
