2. STANDARD FORMAT AND CONTENT FOR
EMERGENCY PLANS

2.1 Introduction

Emergency Management Programs for each DOE site/facility and Operations/Field Office
are documented in an emergency plan, which describes the provisions for responses to
Operational Emergencies. Recommended emergency plan format and content for both
Operational Emergency Base Programs and Operational Emergency Hazardous Material
Programs are provided in this chapter. Every DOE site/facility is required to have a Base
Program. A site/facility with no Hazardous Material Program would develop an
Emergency Plan for the Base Program; the Base Program requirements for a hazardous
material site/facility should be seamlessly integrated with the Hazardous Material
Emergency Plan.

Section 2.2 contains a recommended format and content for a Base Program emergency
plan. Section 2.3 addresses the format and content of the Hazardous Materials Program
emergency plan. Both plans address the same topical and functional areas, but the Base
Program plan only explicitly addresses the minimum requirements specified in the Order,
while more extensive requirements of the Base Program derived from other sources (e.g.,
other DOE orders, Federal/state regulations, local ordinances) can be referenced. Base
Programs with substantial response requirements (i.e., those having organizational
structures and functions similar to a hazardous material program) may use the more
detailed plan structure addressed in Section 2.3.

Facilities/sites also have the option of following the National Response Team's guidance
on Integrated Contingency Planning, also known as the "One-Plan". The One-Plan is a
cooperative effort by the 16 member agencies of the NRT to illustrate how a facility can
develop one emergency response plan to address the myriad of emergency planning
requirements. Using the One-Plan guidance to address the requirements of DOE O 151.1
and other federal requirements is encouraged. The guidance is available in the Federal
Register and on the NRT's web site at http://www.nrt.org.

Base Program. Section 2.2 provides a candidate format and associated content for the
Base Program Emergency Plan.
