LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-23 <br />October 2017 <br /> <br /> 11 <br />Emergency Services to describe the joint State and Federal response to a catastrophic earthquake <br />in the Bay Area. This plan is a component of the Concept of Operations for the joint State and <br />Federal response to a catastrophic incident in California. Under this plan, there are three response <br />phases during the first 60 days after the earthquake. Activities occurring after the 60-day period <br />are described as long-term recovery. The objectives for the three phases of response (immediate <br />impact, sustained response, and relief) are summarized below: <br />Immediate Impact: Earthquake (E) to E+72 Hours <br />• Establish Interoperable Emergency Communications. <br />• Save Lives and Protect Public Safety. <br />• Provide Medical Care. <br />• Establish Lines of Supply and Transportation. <br />Sustained Response: E+72 Hours to E+14 Days <br />• Reestablish the Medical and Public Health Systems. <br />• Provide Care and Shelter for the Displaced Population. <br />• Reduce Hazards to the Population. <br />• Conduct Mass Fatality Operations. <br />Relief: E+14 Days to E+60 Days <br />• Provide Interim Housing for the Displaced Population. <br />• Restore Infrastructure and Public Services. <br />• Establish Temporary Transportation Capabilities. <br />1.3.4 Declaration of an Operational Emergency <br />DOE defines an Operational Emergency as either: <br />• A major unplanned or abnormal incident or condition that involves or affects DOE <br />facilities and activities by causing or having the potential to cause serious health and <br />safety or environmental impacts and requires additional resources to supplement the <br />planned initial response; <br />Or: <br />• Any accident/incident involving an offsite DOE shipment containing hazardous materials <br />that causes the initial responders to initiate protective actions at locations beyond the <br />immediate/affected area. <br />DOE sites/facilities must declare an Operational Emergency when incidents occur that represent <br />a significant degradation in the level of safety at a site/facility resulting in potential health and <br />safety hazards to workers or the public.
