LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) Rev 27 January 2022 52 3.4 State Government The ACSO’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services takes the lead for offsite response when notified of an emergency at LLNL. In that lead role, they would coordinate with the State for assistance and resources. The State of California’s emergency assistance is based on a state-wide mutual aid system designed to ensure that additional resources are provided to and among local jurisdictions whenever their own resources are committed or inadequate. State agencies are obligated to provide available resources to assist local jurisdictions in emergencies at the direction of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. The DHS developed a NIMS Homeland Security Presidential Directive–5, Management of Domestic Incidents. NIMS is similar to California’s SEMS which was adopted through legislation and regulation in the 1990’s. Under SEMS, the State’s assistance is accessed by requesting resources through the operational area coordinator and the ASCO’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. Fire and mutual aid resources are requested through the local and State mutual aid system. The ACFD, including LLNL stations operated by the ACFD, complies with the requirements of SEMS/NIMS for First Responders. Cal OES is the lead State agency in any response to assist Alameda County and is responsible for making state-wide resources available. The California State Department of Health Services provides trained personnel to assist with monitoring and decontaminating personnel, evaluating the extent of any contamination, and monitoring offsite ingestion pathways. 3.4.1 California Office of Emergency Services LLNL has several MOUs with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. These MOUs include an agreement for California disaster and civil defense, an agreement for temporary transfer of vehicular equipment, and an agreement for use of radio equipment. Coordinators designated by State agencies assist California’s emergency management staff headed by the director of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services or a designated representative. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is the lead State agency for emergency management, including planning, response coordination, recovery coordination, mitigation efforts, and training. Emergency responsibilities of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services include: • Developing and implementing the State Emergency Plan • Receiving and disseminating emergency alerts and warnings
