The Emergency Management Program provides the Laboratory with planning and coordination functions necessary for responding to, mitigating, and recovering from emergencies while protecting the health and safety of workers and the public and preventing damage to the environment.
In case of an emergency, the Lab will activate its Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Members from different areas of the Lab come together to exchange information and make decisions on how to handle the disaster and how to return the Lab to normal operations.
The EOC works with local law enforcement and fire agencies to ensure the Lab’s people, its property, and other assets, receive the best protection during an emergency.
