The establishment of an Airport Emergency Preparedness Program (AEPP) will ensure that airport and its surrounding communities are able to cope with an emergency occurring at the airport or its vicinity and identify the responsibilities and required action of all agencies and personnel involved. The AEPP which contains emergency planning procedures is vital as it minimizes the effect of an emergency. The purposes of such plans are to save lives and maintain aircraft operations. |
