• Establish understandings between emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, and equipment suppliers for smooth coordination of emergency response actions. During and/or after an incident, the SSO in consultation with other emergency personnel, such as the Fire Department, will assess the potential for injury to any persons located on adjacent properties. If the assessment concludes that an imminent threat to public health is possible, an evacuation of the nearby area will be initiated. Situations, which warrant partial or complete evacuation of site personnel and/or local residents, are as follows: • Explosions resulting in airborne debris including particles and large fragments. • Fires that cannot be readily contained or are spreading to other parts of the facility; or when fire could generate highly toxic fumes, or create a danger of igniting potentially explosive substances which may be stored on-site. The SSO will immediately notify the responding Police/Sheriff Department and all other appropriate emergency response agencies. The SSO will check that the entrance gate is unlocked and locked as required. 5.13 MEDICAL CARE PROCEDURES Should an emergency situation result in personal injury, immediate steps will be taken to determine the cause and extent of the injury and to render first aid. The SSO will be notified in all cases and the paramedics will be called when required. If further medical attention is necessary, the injured person will be transported to the nearest medical facility. 5.14 AMENDMENTS TO THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN The ERP will be reviewed and can be amended, in accordance with the criteria listed in 27 CCR, Section 21130(c). The amendment criteria are as follows: • A failure or release occurs for which the plan did not provide an appropriate response. • The post -closure use and/or structures on the site change and these changes are not addressed in the existing plan.
