LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 42 The EBCC’s primary responsibilities include: • Monitor progress of an Operational Emergency at LLNL and provide business continuity at the Laboratory. • If requested by PAO, serve as the official LLNL spokesperson. • Notify and inform key LLNL constituents and stakeholders. • Provide direction for the resumption of research, programmatic, and administrative activities. • Identify or concur on a Recovery Manager to manage the recovery process. The EBCC’s support responsibilities include: • Provide overall direction for policy issues. • Provide overall direction for the institutional priorities in the business recovery process. 2.3.5 ERO Duty Officers LLNL maintains a number of duty officers. Each duty officer is required to be fit for duty and readily available. The duty officers may communicate with each other to provide support during events. 2.3.5.1 Laboratory Emergency Duty Officer LLNL has an authorized LEDO available onsite or on-call 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week to take the actions necessary to protect the health and safety of employees, the public, and the environment, and to maintain the facility’s security during abnormal and emergency situations. The LEDO represents the Laboratory Director as the senior LLNS official at LLNL during an emergency affecting the Laboratory. The LEDO serves as a consultant to the IC, the Director’s Office, and cognizant senior management. During an Operational Emergency, the LEDO or EMDO will activate the ERO, at which time the LEDO becomes the ED when the EOC is declared operational. 2.3.5.2 Emergency Management Duty Officer The EMDO is an emergency management professional available onsite or on-call 24 hours-a- day, 7 days-a-week to categorize and classify events and to implement/recommend protective actions necessary to protect the health and safety of employees, the public, and the environment as defined in PPD plans and procedures. Protective actions issued by EMDOs should never be less conservative than the actions implemented by the IC without the concurrence of the on- scene IC. The EMDO also makes immediate DOE and offsite agency notifications. The EMDO makes other courtesy notifications at the request of the LEDO. The EMDO briefs the LEDO on all events, including the protective actions implemented and/or recommended. Unless the event has been classified as a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, the EMDO consults with the LEDO to determine the appropriate level of ERO activation, and then carries out the prescribed ERO activation process.
