Comprehensive Hazardous Material Emergency Response Program Overview

DESCRIPTION

The Operational Emergency Hazardous Material Program is an essential component of the Operational Emergency Base Program. It ensures that in cases where Hazard Survey findings indicate further analysis of hazardous materials is necessary, DOE/NNSA sites and facilities established a quantitative Emergency Planning Hazards Assessment (EPHA). This program outlines protocols to manage specific threats from hazardous materials release, ensuring critical information communication and integrated emergency preparedness strategies. It facilitates planning, aids in developing Emergency Action Levels (EALs), and helps determine program needs based on hazard severity.

  1. Operational Emergency hazardous material program

  2. Operational EmergencyHazardous Material Program Background • Adds to the Operational Emergency Base Program • If the findings of the Hazards Survey indicate the need for further analyses of hazardous materials in an Emergency Planning Hazards Assessment (EPHA), DOE/NNSA sites/facilities and activities must establish and maintain a quantitative EPHA to serve as the technical planning basis to define the provisions of the Hazardous Material Program commensurate with the hazards identified

  3. Provisions of aHazardous Material Program Provisions address • Events that represent a specific threat to workers and the public due to release or potential release of hazardous materials • Resources from outside the immediate/affected area or local event scene to supplement the initial response • Communication of critical information and time-urgent notification to initiate emergency response actions at locations beyond the event scene • Increasing order of severity: Alert – Site Area Emergency – General Emergency

  4. Emergency Planning Hazards Assessment Results • Provides a technical basis for emergency planning and preparedness activities • Facilitates a graded approach to planning and preparedness • Aids in the development of Emergency Action Levels (EALs) • Determines if an Operational Emergency Hazardous Material Program is required
