This could occur when management (e.g., LEDO, EMDO, EBCC, etc.) considers the support available from these entities would be of assistance in responding to the event, such as, the loss of major utility services to LLNL. Under these situations, the ERO will operate using its plans/procedures as appropriate guidance (i.e., naming a Recovery Manager would not be a necessary condition for termination). 2.5 Declaration of an Emergency 2.5.1 Operational Emergencies Declaration of an Operational Emergency may require the activation of the emergency response facilities and the availability of personnel and resources to continuously assess pertinent information for decision-makers; conduct appropriate assessments, investigation, or preliminary sampling and monitoring; mitigate the event consequences; and prepare for other response actions should the situation become more serious and require additional ERO mobilization. At the declaration of an Alert, the LEDO/ED may direct the EMDO to activate emergency response facilities. These facilities provide personnel and resources to continuously assess pertinent information; conduct appropriate assessments, investigations, or preliminary sampling and monitoring; mitigate the severity of the event consequences; and prepare for other response actions should the situation become more serious requiring additional ERO mobilization. Declaration of a Site Area Emergency requires activation of emergency response facilities including the responses listed under Alert, in addition to initiation of predetermined protective actions for onsite personnel; notification and assembly of additional emergency response personnel and equipment to activate response centers and to establish communications, consultation, and liaison with offsite authorities; provision of information to the public and media; implementation of protective actions; and mobilization of additional emergency response assets for immediate dispatch should the situation become more serious.
