Airports are busy and complex facilities designed to accommodate the flow of aircraft arrivals and departures. They require designated areas for air operations, airport operations, and the general public.
Although airports vary in size and complexity, all must develop procedures and coordinate operations that meet the unique needs of their facilities

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEP/EOPCertain core mechanisms and procedures common to
mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
68
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide70
Command and Control
Consistent with national directives, it is recommended that the systematic approach to emergency response known as NIMS be used to facilitate command and control functions through the
ICSThis approach is all the more important in airport emergency response considering the multitude of potential federal, state, and local agencies serving in varying roles in the aviation industry
69
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide71
Command and Control
Alert and Notification
Alert and notification of A-CERTs should be coordinated with local jurisdictions and may vary depending on the nature of the emergency. Examples of methods of alert and notification include:
Telephone notification to A-CERT team leaders
Pagers
Communication radios
County dispatch center notification procedures
Other electronic notification methods or use of cell phone networks
70
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]Slide72
Command and Control
Mobilization of A-CERT
Mobilization encompasses processes and procedures used by all organizations for activating, assembling, and transporting resources requested to respond to or support response to an incident.
An established community CERT program may have procedures in place for mobilizing members. These procedures may need to be augmented to meet specific needs of an A-CERT response.
In the case of a dedicated A-CERT program, mobilization may require dedicated areas and processes to ensure reliable activation of resources.
71
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide73
Command and Control
A-CERT Staging Area
A staging area is a pre-arranged area where support response personnel, vehicles, and other equipment can be located and held for response.
A-CERTs and airport sponsors should coordinate these areas in advance, depending on the nature of the emergency, to avoid confusion and facilitate efficient response.
Examples of potential A-CERT staging
areas:
Dedicated A-CERT space in airport building
Airport ARFF station
Airport maintenance facility
Airport landside parking area
72
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide74
Command and Control
Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
EOC is a specific physical location operating in
support of incident management
activities
EOC
may be temporarily designated or located in a more permanent facility on the
airport
In emergency situations, A-CERTs will need to coordinate with
command
staff and EOC operationsA-CERT members should be familiar with conditions
under which AEP/EOP will activate the EOC, where it will be located, and relevant resources it
contains; in
these instances, A-CERT coordination will be required with
command
staff and EOC
operations
73
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide75
Command and Control
Accountability
It is important that an A-CERT develop an effective system of accountability for personnel in emergency response
Several methods are used to ensure accountability in emergency response
AEP/EOP
or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging
systems
74
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide76
Command and Control
Incident Command System (ICS)
As defined by NIMS, ICS principles are commonly used for airport emergency response; A-CERT members should be familiar with these procedures consistent with airport
response
Some basic ICS principles
include:
Using common terminology
Working through an Incident Commander or Unified Command Structure
Participating in Incident Action Planning
75
A-CERT Basic Training
Airport CERT ProgramSlide77
Command and Control
Types of ICS StructuresIncident
Commander provides overall leadership for incident response. The most qualified person at the scene is designated as
Incident Commander
Chain of command
: Orderly line of authority within
ranks
of
incident
management organization
Unity of command: Every individual reports to a designated supervisor at scene of the incidentNote: To maintain unity of command and safety of responders,
chain of command must NOT be bypassed76

Electrical hazards can cause burns, shocks, electrocution, and death.Assume that all overhead wires are energized at lethal voltages.
Have a qualified electrician inspect any electrical equipment that has come into contact with water.
If working in damp locations, inspect electrical cords and equipment to ensure that they are in good condition.
Important: Airfield lighting is high voltage. Stay clear of damaged electrical systems.
