LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 47 2.6.2 Technical Support ES&H Directorate staff experts from the Radiation Protection, Nuclear Criticality Safety, Worker Safety & Health, and Environmental functional areas provide technical support to the EOC when it is activated. A Health Services representative may be requested to advise the Emergency Management Team on issues including health implications of emergency situations, triage, treatment, and transport of injured individuals. The NARAC may be requested through the CQT function in the EOC to advise the Emergency Management Team on the implications of toxic or radiological releases. NARAC, a part of LLNL’s Global Security Principal Directorate, provides real-time assessments of the consequences from an atmospheric release of radioactive or toxic material. Using professional staff, numerical models, computer systems, and network links about the country, NARAC can transmit information about an accident, exercise, or potential accident in the form of graphic plots of contours of dose and/or air concentration and ground deposition of toxic materials. 2.6.3 Credibility Assessment The Security Organization’s SDO will advise the Emergency Management Team regarding the credibility of any potential incident such as terrorist activities or bomb threats. The assessment will be based on information provided by the Security IC and the Office of Investigative Services at LLNL. 2.6.4 Structural Evaluation Assessment Field Teams Structural Evaluation Assessment Teams support the EOC Facilities Lead to: • Respond to any emergency such as: - Earthquake, flood, high wind or tornado damage assessment. - Accident, explosion, or fire recovery assessment. • Aid or provide consultation to First Responders in situations where poor or degraded structural integrity cause a potential life-safety hazard. Each Structural Evaluation Assessment Field Team consists of three people - a Structural Engineer, an Architect, and a Building Inspector. At least one member of each team has been trained as a Safety Assessment Program Responder by Cal OES. Additional members, such as facility-knowledgeable individuals, ES&H, or Security, may be requested through the EOC to assist these teams in their assessment of facilities containing hazardous materials or with special access requirements. In the event of an emergency such as a major seismic event, buildings will need to be inspected by the Structural Evaluation Assessment Field Teams. Because this resource is limited and there will be an urgent need to reoccupy certain facilities to deal with the emergency, these inspections will be done in accordance with the priorities listed in PPD plans/procedures.
