LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-23 October 2017 31 • Emergency response efforts and resources committed to the incident scene are under the control of the ACFD Battalion Chief or LLNL Security IC. • Emergency response efforts and resources used within the LLNL site boundary, but outside the incident scene, are under the control of the ED. • The ACFD Battalion Chief directing the response to an emergency in or around LLNL manages all firefighting and emergency response resources under his/her control in accordance with the FIRESCOPE Program as mandated by California Health and Safety Code (Section 13071 - 13070). This may include resources from adjacent jurisdictions such as LPFD or City of Tracy Fire Department. • Committing DOE/NNSA resources rests with the NNSA/LFO Emergency Manager. 2.2.4 LLNS and NNSA/LFO EOC Authorities During an Operational Emergency and operation of the EOC, the NNSA/LFO Emergency Manager monitors LLNL's overall response, provides support to the LLNL Emergency Management Team, and assists with response and recovery-related issue resolution. The NNSA/LFO Emergency Manager will consult with the LLNL ED on NNSA/LFO concerns or issues related to LLNL's management of the response and its associated recovery. The LLNL ED maintains overall managerial command and control of LLNL's response and EOC operations, unless responsibility for this management is formally requested by the NNSA/LFO Emergency Manager in accordance with Contract 44, Clause H-2, Performance Direction, and provisions of DOE Order 151.1D, Appendix A, Responsibilities, 10.o. Such a transfer will be completed in an orderly and formal manner, and all ERO personnel will be informed of the transfer. LLNL staff will facilitate this transfer and continue to support the response and recovery actions in accordance with the directions of LLNL management. 2.3 Emergency Management Operations and Personnel The LLNL ERO is divided into two categories: Field-Level First Responder and Emergency Management through the EOC. Non-uniformed ERO staff are annually issued identification cards by the EMD. These cards are signed by the Department Head of EMD and authorize access to LLNL emergency operations and support facilities (i.e., EOC, DOCs). 2.3.1 Field Emergency Response Organization The field ERO is called out to respond and mitigate the emergency situation. The ERO operates under the ICS, and is operational within minutes of activation. To ensure an acceptable level of emergency response capability, the size and configuration of the field ERO is maintained to provide an overall response capability that includes the application of the necessary level of resources to mitigate consequences to workers, the public, the environment, national security and to initiate recovery from an Operational Emergency.
