APPENDIX A REPLACED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT GUIDES . . 7-A-1CANCELE D Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I 8-21-97 vi This page intentionally left blank. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide 8-21-97 1-1 1. COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DOE Order 151.1, COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, issued September 25, 1995, following approval of all DOE elements and the Directives Management Board, describes the Department of Energy (DOE) Emergency Management System (EMS). The Order establishes policy; assigns roles and responsibilities; and provides the framework for the development, coordination, control, and direction of the DOE EMS. The Order establishes requirements for emergency planning, preparedness, response, recovery, and readiness assurance activities and describes the approach for effectively integrating these activities under a comprehensive, all-emergency concept. DOE facilities/sites or activities, Operations/Field Offices, and DOE Headquarters offices are required to develop emergency management programs as elements of an integrated and comprehensive EMS. Together, these elements ensure that the DOE EMS is prepared to respond promptly, efficiently, and effectively to any emergency involving DOE facilities/sites, activities, or operations, to protect workers, the public, the environment, and national security. The Emergency Management Guide (EMG) provides non-mandatory guidance for the implementation of the requirements pertaining to the DOE comprehensive EMS. The EMG is applicable to all DOE facilities/sites, activities, and operations and to all DOE organizational levels (facility/site, Operations/Field Office, and Headquarters offices). Emphasis is placed on guidance for the Operational Emergency Programs at facilities/sites. CANCELE D Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I 8-21-97 1-2 This page intentionally left blank. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide 8-21-97 2-1 2. IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH 2.1 Planning and Preparedness The DOE comprehensive EMS is based on a three-tiered management structure consisting of DOE facilities/sites, Operations/Field Offices, and Headquarters, with each tier having specific roles and responsibilities during an emergency. Each organizational tier provides management, direction, and support of emergency response activities. The facility/site manages the tactical response to the emergency by directing the mitigative actions necessary to resolve the problem, protect the workers, the public, and the environment, and return the facility to a safe condition. The DOE Operations/Field Office oversees the facility response and provides assistance and guidance to the facility management. DOE Headquarters provides strategic direction to the response, provides assistance and guidance to the Operations/Field Office, and evaluates the broad impacts of the emergency on the DOE complex. Headquarters also coordinates with other Federal agencies on a national level, provides information to representatives of the executive and legislative branches of the Federal government, and responds to inquiries from the national media.

DOE O 151.1 requires that emergency management programs be established and maintained at each organizational level to implement requirements pertaining to the comprehensive EMS. Because DOE and its contractors are involved in a variety of operations and activities incorporating a broad range of hazards which must be considered in effective emergency management, the Order requires that the emergency management program for a specific facility/site be commensurate with the hazards present at that facility/site (i.e., a tailored or graded approach.) Each DOE facility/site is required by DOE O 151.1 to have an Operational Emergency Base Program which provides the framework for response to serious events or conditions that involve the health and safety of workers and the public, the environment, and safeguards and security. Although DOE O 151.1 establishes several DOE-unique requirements as well as a minimum set of generic requirements for the Base Program, the framework for response results mainly from the implementation of the requirements of DOE regulations, other DOE orders, and applicable non-DOE Federal, state, and local laws/regulations/ordinances. The specific requirements that constitute the Operational Emergency Base Program are the emergency planning and preparedness aspects of these Orders and laws/regulations/ordinances. (Examples of emergency response features addressed in other Orders and laws/regulations/ordinances include: medical support, worker evacuation plans, fire drills, worker notification systems, hazardous material responder training, hazardous material communication labeling and transport logistics, contingency planning for oil spills, environmental spill drills and exercises, and DOE security and safeguards requirements.) The objective of the Base Program is to achieve CANCELE D Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I 8-21-97 2-2 an effective integration of emergency planning and preparedness requirements into an emergency management program that provides capabilities for all-emergency response, through communication, coordination, and an efficient and effective use of resources. The Hazards Survey, required by DOE O 151.1 for each facility/site, is used to identify the generic emergency events or conditions which define the scope of the emergency management program at a facility/site. The Hazards Survey is a qualitative examination of the events or conditions specific to the facility/site which may require an emergency response. The description of the potential impacts of such events or conditions contained in the Hazards Survey determines the planning and preparedness requirements that apply. These requirements constitute the Base Program. The Hazards Survey is the formal mechanism to determine the scope and extent of the Base Program. If hazardous materials are not present at the facility/site, or are present in quantities less than the specified threshold quantities, then the Base Program appropriately defines the facility/site emergency management program that meets the requirements of DOE O 151.1.

A facility/site-specific Hazards Assessment is required by DOE O 151.1 to be conducted for each DOE facility/site where hazardous materials are present in quantities exceeding the specified threshold quantities. A Hazards Assessment is a quantitative analysis that includes the identification and characterization of hazardous materials specific to a facility/site, analyses of potential accidents or events, and evaluation of potential consequences. The results of the Hazards Assessment determine whether an Operational Emergency Hazardous Materials Program is required. If the analysis results indicate that potential accident events and conditions are below the criteria for an Alert (as defined in DOE O 151.1), the Base Program (which implements non-DOE requirements such as 29 CFR 1910.120) constitutes the appropriate emergency management program for the facility/site. If the analysis results indicate the potential for an Alert, Site Area Emergency (SAE), or General Emergency (GE) (as defined in DOE O 151.1), a Hazardous Materials Program is required, and the analysis results provide the technical basis for the hazardous materials emergency management program. The Operational Emergency Base Program, described above, provides the “base” or “foundation” for the Hazardous Materials Program. The emergency program which results from the “seamless” integration and coordination of these sets of requirements (“base” plus hazardous materials) becomes the emergency management program for the facility/site. Every conceivable situation cannot be analyzed thus, not every response can be preplanned. However, the development of an adequate Hazards Survey/Hazards Assessment in combination with effective and integrated emergency planning and preparedness provides the framework for response to any emergency event or condition.

CANCELE D Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I 8-21-97 2-4 2.2 Response DOE O 151.1 requires that an Operational Emergency be declared when events or conditions at a DOE facility/site or activity require response from outside the immediate/affected facility/site or area of the event. This is the process of categorizing an event or condition as an Operational Emergency. Such events or conditions cause, or have the potential to cause: ! Serious health and safety impacts to workers or the public; ! Serious detrimental effects on the environment; ! Direct harm to people or the environment as a result of degradation of security or safeguards conditions; or ! Loss of control over hazardous materials.

Operational Emergency events or conditions, which do not involve the loss of control over hazardous materials, are referred to as “Events That Do Not Require Classification,” in DOE O 151.1. An Operational Emergency involving the loss of control over hazardous materials (i.e., involving an actual or potential airborne release to the environment; that is, outside a structure or enclosure on a DOE facility or site) are referred to in the Order as “Events Requiring Classification.” The emergency response to such an event can benefit from a classification scheme that is based on the severity of potential consequences at specific distances from the source of the release. The Order requires that these events be classified as Alert, SAE, or GE, in order of increasing severity. This classification scheme facilitates early decision-making, particularly with respect to response activities, offsite notifications, and protective actions, by making initial decisions during planning rather than during actual response. Figure 2.2 illustrates the general approach for categorization and classification of Operational Emergencies.CANCELE D Event/Condition Categorize Operational Emergency? Loss of Control of HAZMAT?

CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide 8-21-97 3-1 3. APPLICATION The EMG provides acceptable approaches to emergency planning, preparedness, response, recovery, and readiness assurance activities at DOE facilities and sites, including DOE transportation activities, Operations/Field Offices, and Headquarters offices. The EMG is provided as guidance only. No new policies, responsibilities, or requirements are established. The guidance contained in the EMG is generic in nature because detailed guidance on every conceivable type of emergency situation for every type of facility cannot be provided. Other equivalent approaches for meeting the Order requirements may be acceptable to accommodate the wide range and diversity of DOE operations and activities, facility types and missions, hazards, and site characteristics. Features such as local and state political structures, geography, and local demography may also contribute to unique facility-specific solutions for developing and maintaining an acceptable emergency management program which complies with the Order requirements. Using either the guidance contained in the EMG or another acceptable approach to implement the Order requirements, the resulting emergency management program should be integrated and coordinated with regulations and plans developed by other Federal agencies, states, local authorities, and other DOE offices. These regulations and plans may establish requirements similar to those required within the Operational Emergency Hazardous Materials Program, and should be integrated, where applicable, to ensure a standard approach and continuity of effort. Newly issued or revised orders, regulations, or plans should be incorporated, in accordance with corresponding implementation requirements, as soon as reasonably achievable (e.g., during the performance of the annual hazard assessment review/update.)

This EMG replaces previously issued DOE EMG listed in Appendix A.CANCELE D Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I 8-21-97 3-2 This page intentionally left blank. CANCELE D DOE G 151.1-1, Volume I Introduction to the Emergency Management Guide 8-21-97 4-1 4. ORGANIZATION The EMG is organized in terms of functional areas represented by the emergency management program elements and associated topics identified in the Order. Each of the chapters covers a separate area with direct application to an emergency management program. The EMG is divided into eleven (11) volumes. The chapters within the volumes address program elements or associated topics. Each chapter includes an Introduction which provides a general discussion of the material to be covered in the chapter and a subsection addressing the Base Program. Guidance on implementing the Base Program requirements for the topic is provided either in the Base Program subsection (e.g., if only a minimum requirement is specified) or in a subsequent section in the chapter (e.g., if a more extensive discussion is appropriate.)
