Occupant Emergency Plans (OEP's)

The Occupant Emergency Plans (OEP's) provide the specific procedures to protect life and property in emergency situations. The DOE Office of Management, Office of Administration, has responsibility for implementing the overall program for the DOE Headquarters facilities. In leased facilities, the lead agency is responsible for coordinating the overall plan. Each Program Secretarial Office is responsible for the implementation of the detailed OEP requirements for the areas of the building that they occupy.

The General OEP provides the basic information, including duties and responsibilities, that are applicable to all buildings.

The building-specific OEP's contain the drawings, information, and team members specific to one building.
