Abstract

This synthesis study is intended to inform airport operators and local and regional emergency management agencies about how airports cooperate effectively with local and regional emergency management agencies for disaster preparedness and response, relationships, structures, and systems (formal and informal) in place among airports and emergency management agencies as well as on the methods for airport operators to coordinate and collaborate with local, state, and federal agencies with jurisdiction at airports during a major disaster. Potential solutions for unique issues and challenges for airport operators during disasters (e.g., local practices, regulatory limitations such as revenue diversion, jurisdictional considerations, operational complexities, airport size) were sought and documented. Four case examples were developed to document effective practices. Information used in this study was acquired through a review of the literature and interviews with airport operators and industry experts.
