LLNL Emergency Management Plan(EPlan) Rev 26 January 2021 actual emergency. The program also ensures that the local offsite organizations are offered participation in an exercise at least every three years. Specifically, the exercise program provides the following: • Management and administration of the exercise planning process • Conduct of exercises • An evaluation process • An improvement process that includes lessons learned and corrective actions 14.1.1 Exercise Design and Development Planning and scheduling of exercises requires the involvement and cooperation of multiple organizations at LLNL. To that end, the Emergency Programs Exercise Planning Committee was developed to provide consistent direction and guidance for the planning, preparation, conduct, control and evaluation of integrated drill and exercise activities at LLNL. A scenario development working group comprised of representatives from affected organizations/agencies/facilities is established for each exercise evolution at LLNL. The scenario development working group is co-chaired by a representative from the organization of primary focus for the exercise, and contains members from the planning committee along with selected specialists. 14.1.2 Exercise Package The exercise package contains all the documentation necessary to execute, control, and evaluate the exercise; however, the extent of information will vary with the scope and complexity of the specific exercise. The exercise package is developed as described in the EPO plan for drills and exercises. 14.1.3 Control and Evaluation Process Exercises are controlled and evaluated in accordance with EPO plans/procedures for drills and exercises. Controllers are assigned to each venue participating in the exercise. Controllers are also formally trained, including exercise-specific training. Controllers and evaluators, who participate annually in an exercise within their area of expertise, are considered current for the drill/exercise component of ERO training. Exercises are formally evaluated based on evaluation modules developed from exercise objectives and implementing plans/procedures. Evaluators have technical expertise in the area being evaluated, are formally trained on the exercise evaluation process, and also receive training specific to the exercise they will evaluate. Following an exercise, each venue conducts a hot-wash of exercise events. An all-hands critique, to include representatives from all venues, is also held. Critique information is documented, and deficiencies and observations are developed. Deficiencies and observations are then analyzed 106
