Introduction

CERT concept was developed by City of Los Angeles Fire Department in 1985

After September 11, 2001, Citizen Corps launched to strengthen community safety and preparednessAirport CERT (A-CERT) Training Program extends role of CERT into airports to supplement airport management needs and promote more efficient response

Airport CERT Program

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 Safety

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.
