Order 151.1C, "Comprehensive Emergency Management
System," describes DOE's emergency management system.
The Order establishes policy; assigns roles and responsibilities;
and provides the framework for the developing, coordinating,
controlling, and directing the Department's emergency
management system. The accompanying Emergency Management
Guides provides an acceptable approach for implementing
the requirements and expectations of O 151.1C. The
Emergency Management Guides (DOE G 151.1) can be accessed
at http://www.directives.doe.gov/.
The Office of Emergency Management and Policy (NA-41)
is the office of primary interest for the order and
guide.
These documents discuss 15 emergency management program
elements that comprise a comprehensive system of emergency
management. They are:
- Hazards Survey and Hazards Assessment
- Emergency Response Organization
- Offsite Response Interfaces

- Consequence Assessment
- Protective Actions and Reentry
- Emergency Medical Support
- Emergency Public Information
- Emergency Facilities and Equipment

The Guide, which is subdivided into five volumes,
discusses each of these elements in detail. Volume
1 of the Guide, "Management Fundamentals and the Operational
Emergency Base ", provides an overview of the Guide's
purpose and layout. In addition, Volume 3 of the Guide
provides information on Standard Format and Content
for Emergency Plans and Emergency Readiness Assurance
Plans (ERAPs), as well as a chapter on evaluating
emergency management programs.
