LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) <br />Rev 27 <br />January 2022 <br /> <br /> 58 <br />4 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT/SYSTEMS <br />Emergency facilities and equipment support the ERO. The Order requires LLNL to maintain <br />facilities to support emergency response operations. Critical emergency facilities are defined as <br />the following 16 facilities: <br />• EOC and Alternate <br />• Site 300 DOC and Alternate <br />• PAO DOC and Alternate <br />• TOC and Alternate <br />• EBCC and Alternate <br />• ACRECC and Alternate (B323 Conference Room) <br />• JIC (shares Alternate with the Alternate PAO DOC) <br />• HSD (Medical Center) <br />• Fire Station #20 <br />• Fire Station #21 <br />Equipment includes information management and communication systems that are capable of <br />transmitting required notifications of emergency events and necessary exchanges of information. <br />Various emergency alarm systems are installed to notify Laboratory workers of the emergency <br />protective actions that may be required. Transportation equipment, personal protective <br />equipment, consequence assessment equipment and other equipment used for an emergency are <br />specified in Section 4.2. <br />4.1 Emergency Facilities <br />4.1.1 Emergency Operations Center <br />In FY 2022, LLNL completed construction of a specifically designed and constructed building in <br />the Site 200 southwest buffer zone to provide LLNL a dedicated facility to consolidate into one <br />location emergency operations management, fire alarms monitoring, communications, and <br />response technical support to enable efficient management of an emergency impacting Site 200, <br />Site 300, or both (see Figure 4-1). At approximately 20,550 square-foot, the single-story facility <br />allows LLNL ERO personnel and other (e.g., City, County, State, and Federal) emergency <br />personnel to support and coordinate LLNL's response to an emergency. Specific security <br />protection features are incorporated into the design, and the building is equipped with a special <br />air filtration system having a building envelope constructed to maintain a sealed internal air <br />environment for up to 90 minutes. <br />The building housing the EOC is designed and constructed for a seismic performance objective <br />that is higher than California Building Code (CBC) performance objective (ASCE 7) Risk
