Abstract

As it is known, the complexity of airports varies from one airport to another. This is mainly attributed to the fact that some airports are small and have simple facilities, while others are large with complex facilities. Nonetheless, all airports are prone to unpredictable events, which make airport emergency an essential aspect for airports. Because of this, every airport should have in place an emergency plan. Airport emergency plans are important simply because they not only protect properties, but also ensure that lives are not lost. As far as emergency plans are concerned, there are various types of plans used in airports such as hijack and bomb threat plans. However, it will be noted that most of the airports have their plans written in steps or procedures, which presents a problem. The particular problem with such emergency plans is that they do not have charts, graphs or any pictorial representation that can assist people to know the exact action that they should take in case of an unforeseeable event/situation. In order to deal with this problem, the proposed solution is that the Flowthing Model (FM) should be used. The model makes use of the concept of flow. Here, events necessary in complete execution of a process are easily identified and chronologically arranged in an order that can easily be controlled, managed, and enhanced.
