What is AWARE?Slide4
Purpose of AWARE ToolkitThe AWARE Toolkit is a stakeholder-driven tool to help airports improve their readiness for significant weather events and track the physical and financial impacts of such events to aid in recovery and future planning.Slide5
Toolkit UsesLearn about exposure to 17 significant weather event types at each airport locationAssess airport readiness for significant weather events across 6 distinct functional areasLearn how to improve readiness for significant weather eventsAccess “Best Practices in Action” based on 15 airport case studies across North AmericaSlide6
Does AWARE Address Climate Change?AWARE is focused on significant weather events that can happen todayIt is not intended to project how risk may increase in the futureHowever, for users’ reference, AWARE does indicate whether weather events are projected to increase or decrease in frequency due to climate changeSlide7
Toolkit Information SourcesInformation in this toolkit has been developed through numerous channels:Existing ACRP reports and productsOther literatureCase studies of best practices developed through interviews with 15 airports across North AmericaExpert knowledgeContent updates and user-friendliness has been improved through feedback from toolkit demonstrations at:Airport Council International – North America Annual Conference (Long Beach, CA, October 2015)Airports Going Green Conference (Chicago, IL, October 2015)Slide8
