Airport Emergency Plan Flashcards
what does the AEP provide a framework for?
the response capabilities of the airport and the community, it describes jurisdiction boundaries, the chain of command, and procedures for communication and coordination
The AEP must contain the instructions for response to the following hazards
aircraft incidents and accidents, terrorism incidents, structures fires, fuel farms, and fuel storage areas, natural disasters, hazardous materials, sabotage, hijack incidents, and other unlawful interference with operations, failure of power for movement area lighting, water rescue situations, and crow control
The AEP should include the following functional sections
command and control, communications, alert notification and warning, emergency public information, protective actions, law enforcement or security, firefighting and rescue, health and medical, resource management, airport operations and maintenance
what is the national response framework for?
a guide to how the nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies
what is the point of the objectives for the response mission
it defines the capabilities necessary to save lives, protect property and the environment, meet basic human needs, stabilize the incident, restore basic services and community functionality, and establish a safe and secure environment to facilitate the integration of recovery activities
what does NIMS train you in
the incident management basis for the NRF and defines standard command and management structures
what do the component of the NIMS support
response
the components include preparedness, communication and information management, resource management, and command and management
mitigation
actions that can prevent, alleviate, or diminish the potential effects of a disastr situation
prepairedness
actions that enhance emergence response capabilities…. emergency plans, trills, training, and exercise
recovery
actions that restore the airport and community to pre-emergency conditions
what information should operations personnel obtain upon initial alert
1 aircraft identification
2 nature of the emergency
3 quantity of fuel on board
4 runway intended to be used
5 number of occupants
6 presence of any hazardous materials
7 location of the aircraft if on the ground
level I Alert
precautionary approach to a situation - real or suspected emergency exists on an aircraft, would not normally cause serious difficulty or make the landing unsafe
Level II Alert
actual aircraft emergency exist in flight - an accident may well occur resulting in injuries and aircraft damage
Level III Alert
an actual aircraft accident has occurred
what is the most critical time period in an emergency response
the first 15 min
what are the two tasks of ARFF
first, create and exit route
second, prevent or extinguish fires
What does FEMA describe an exercise as
an activity designed to promote emergency preparedness; test or evaluate emergency operation, policies, plans, procedures or facilities; train personnel in emergency management duties; and demonstrate operational capacity
what are the five types of exercise
orientation seminar, drill, tabletop exercise, functional or partial exercise, full-scale exercise
what is an orientation seminar
involves bringing together with a role or interest in the AEP. you discuss the AEP and initial plans for upcoming drills and exercises. become familiar with the roles, procedures, responsibilities, and personalities of all those involved
what is a drill
the lowest level of an exercise, used to test develop or maintain skills in a single emergency response procedure. it is considered necessary for ongoing training
what is a tabletop exercise
it is designed to provide an opportunity for training and evaluation of plans and procedures, and to resolve questions of coordination and assignment of responsibilities. here you discuss in a meeting format through a facilitator. all activities are simulated and the goal is to learn the limitations and capabilities of each emergency response recourse.
what is a functional or partial exercise
it is designed to rest or evaluate the specific capabilities of the participants in a stress-induced environment with time constrains and actual simulation of specified events
what is a full scale exercise
it is intended to evaluate the operational capability of the emergency management system, with actual mobilization and deployment of resources to demonstrate coordination and response capability
What are the ARFF index in terms of the minimum number of casualties
A: 20-30
B: 40-50
C: 60-70
D: 80-90
E: 100 or more
In what time must investigative authorities dispatch representatives
12-24 hours
Who can remove aircraft wreckage
NTSB
