LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 5 In addition to the distribution above, controlled copies of this Emergency Plan are stored in the PPD files and are provided to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Alternate 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 identified in Section 3 of this Emergency Plan. 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 24 hours-a-day, every day of the year - including non-business hours, holidays, and weekends - 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, LLNL emergency responders, such as Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) (i.e., fire, Hazardous Material [HazMat], ACFD Emergency Medical Services [EMS]) and Security Organization, 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. If the emergency is not an Operational Emergency, the EMDO monitors the situation, through information from the IC or On-Scene Communicator, in case it escalates to an OE. 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. During normal working hours, an individual from the EMD will respond to the incident scene and serve as the On-Scene Communicator for communications between the IC and key elements of the LLNL emergency organization (i.e., EMDO, LEDO, EOC, Department Head of EMD, etc.). Support to the EOC and IC is provided by various line management organizations at LLNL (i.e., ES&H, Operations and Business, etc.).
