AIRPORT EMERGENCY COORDINATION CENTER PROTOCOL
1.1 ESTABLISHING AN AIRPORT EMERGENCY COORDINATION CENTER
In the event of an emergency at the Atlanta Regional Airport - Falcon Field, or if an aircraft or aviation related emergency occurs near the airport and airport personnel are involved, the Customer Service Desk area will become the Airport Emergency Coordination Center (AECC). The purpose of the AECC is to assist rescue personnel in the performance of their duties and to coordinate airport activities during the emergency.
The senior most manager or employee on duty who is immediately available will assume the position of Emergency Coordinator (EC). This position should be filled (in order or preference) by the Airport Director, Airport Manager, a CSR Supervisor, Line Service Supervisor, a CSR, or a Line Service Technician (LST). As the situation dictates, the initial EC may be relieved for other duties when senior management arrives in the AECC and assumes the EC position.
1.2 INCIDENT COMMAND STRUCTURE
In addition to the Airport Emergency Coordination Center, which is for airport personnel only, the senior individual of the first emergency response unit at the scene will assume overall command and control of the emergency response efforts and will be designated the Incident Commander. The Incident Commander will remain in control until relieved by a higher authority, or until it is determined that the emergency is contained and safe.
The Incident Commander will establish an Incident Command Post, usually near the scene of the emergency, from which control of all emergency response activities will be controlled. Under most circumstances, a representative of the Peachtree City Fire Department will assume this role, however certain situations may dictate that a representative of the Peachtree City Police Department or other agencies may be in overall command.
The following organizations can provide valuable information or assistance to the Incident Commander. Representatives of these organizations are requested to report to the Incident Command Post and coordinate their respective activities with the Incident Commander. Each organization involved with this guide should establish a line of succession or control for its personnel.
1. Airport Management
2. Peachtree City Fire Department
3. Peachtree City Police Department
4 Fayette County EMS
5. Appropriate Airport Operators
6. Appropriate State or Federal agencies
1.3 SECONDARY ACTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
The procedures and check lists included in this guide assume that the emergency has been identified by one or more employees and that initial contact has occurred between Line Service Technicians (LST) and Customer Service Representatives (CSR) regarding the emergency, and that emergency protocol has begun. It further assumes that the LST(s) will perform their duties outside on or about the airport property and the CSR(s) will remain inside at the service desk as it transitions into becoming the AECC and the emergency response further develops.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance and assistance to airport personnel during those emergency or abnormal situations. In this regard, it should be remembered that no guide, regardless of the detailed care that goes into its preparation, should be substituted for the exercise of common sense in any given situation. This guide is not intended to cover all situations that may arise, but to provide a general plan to be followed when possible.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is responsible for investigating aircraft accidents and determining the probable cause of such an accident. An "aircraft accident" means an occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft, which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight and all such persons have disembarked, and in which any person suffers death or serious injury, or in which the aircraft receives substantial damage.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has responsibility for aviation safety and will also be involved in an accident investigation. The FAA may also assume responsibility for investigating aircraft incidents. An "incident" means an occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety of operations.
Matters of national security or an event that involves the security of the national transportation system may require that the Homeland Security Administration or the National Transportation Administration be informed as well. It will be the responsibility of the FAA or NTSB to provide notification to those or other organizations as the situation dictates.
1.4 AFFECTED ORGANIZATIONS AND GUIDE DISTRIBUTION LIST

(2) Peachtree City Fire Department
(3) Peachtree City Police Department
(4) Fayette County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Director
(5) Fayette County Emergency Medical Service (EMS)

Secondary Action Items:
Provide assistance to any victims or personnel involved using these guidelines:
(a) Rescue is first. Speed and skill are of utmost importance in situations where such hazards exist that human life is in jeopardy, but common sense must prevail.
IF FIRE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT, and rescue can be accomplished safely prior to arrival of emergency rescue teams, proceed with caution. If however, the victims involved are injured, consider applying first aid and waiting for Crash Fire Rescue (CFR) personnel and allow them to perform their duties.
IF FIRE IS A THREAT, move occupants to a safe distance, taking care to support any back or neck injuries, and await CFR personnel.
(b) Fire fighting. If available fire extinguishers are deemed adequate to suppress an existing fire, proceed with caution but limit efforts to that necessary to assist rescue efforts. Once survivors have been removed and extinguishers have been expended, withdraw from scene and await CFR personnel. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will airport personnel risk injury to remove obvious fatalities, animals, or cargo.
(c) REPORT to Incident Command Post once CFR personnel have arrived, and assist as needed.

3.4 CLEANUP AND RECOVERY
Once it has been established that the emergency or abnormal situation no longer presents a hazard to life or property, and any aircraft accident investigation activities have reached a point where cleanup and recovery operations can begin, every effort should be made to restore normal airport operations as soon as possible.
While each circumstance will call for different actions by the various organizations involved, the following guidelines are offered as a work list to that end:
A. Give first priority to assuring that the runway and taxiways are open and free of debris, spilled oil or fuel, vehicles, personnel or any other obstructions. Apron areas, auto parking areas and service roads are of a second priority.
B. Assure that all damaged or overturned aircraft are secured or righted and any fuel spillage is properly contained. Remove any disabled aircraft from the runway, or active operation areas, by the most expeditious method available, without causing additional damage if possible. Use cranes, trailers or trucks as necessary. Coordinate placement location for damaged aircraft with owners.
C. Airport management or maintenance personnel should inspect the runways taxiways, airport lighting systems and navigational aids for damage and make repairs as necessary.
D. After determining that airport operations can safely resume, advise Macon Flight Service Notify MCN FSS (Lockheed Martin) at:1 (877) 487-6867 that the airport is open and that operations have returned to normal (or list any restrictions that might apply). Record time of this notification and initials of individual at MCN FSS.
E. Airport personnel should record all overtime spent during cleanup and recovery operations, including any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. A report of activities should be prepared within 48 hours of the incident and submitted to Airport Director.
3.5 CROWD CONTROL/CIVIL DISTURBANCES
All airport tenants and personnel are requested to report any known threat of civil demonstrations or disturbances to the Airport Management. Anticipated arrivals or departures of dignitaries, political figures or celebrities that might draw large crowds should also be reported.
It will be the responsibility of Airport Management, or the senior representative on duty, to determine the need for crowd control and to request assistance from the Peachtree City Police Department if needed.
Should this aid be requested, an Incident Command Post will be established and operated by the Peachtree City Police Department. As with other emergencies, the Incident Commander will assume control during the event. Airport personnel should report to the Incident Commander and offer assistance as needed.
Airport tenants may be requested to secure aircraft and hangars during such an event, or to relocate their aircraft to different aprons or other airports as necessary.
3.6 BOMB THREATS.
Whenever there is reason to believe or suspect that a bomb has been placed aboard an aircraft or in an airport building, the matter must be considered seriously. All reports should be investigated and treated as if they are real.
The placement of any explosive or incendiary device on a civil aircraft is a federal offense. This offense includes any statement, remarks or comments regarding a bomb or explosive device being placed aboard a civil aircraft.
A. RECEIPT OF BOMB THREAT.
There are several ways a bomb threat may be received. The following management techniques are offered to guide the person receiving such a threat.
(1) Receipt by telephone
Attempt to keep the person making the threat on the line as long as possible, signaling for others to initiate an emergency call to the telephone operator to trace the incoming call.
Collect as much detail from the caller as possible, including specifics on which building or aircraft is threatened, the location of the building or aircraft, the exact location of the explosive device within the structure or aircraft, what the device is made of, how it is triggered, when it might explode, etc.
Listen for unique voice patterns and background noises. Ask if the person will give you his name (you might actually get it), or who or what organization the person represents.
Ask the caller if he knows anyone that works in the building or if he knows the operator or pilot of the aircraft threatened, and request details of that person.
Ask if the person will call back at a later time to verify details; the intent being to give authorities time to record and trace the call.
Record the time the call was taken and by whom.
(2) Receipt by mail or other written methods.
Handle the document as little as possible. Take the information listed and notify the Airport Manager. Note any threatening times listed in the document to determine urgency. If the threats are immediate, treat accordingly.
Turn document over to the FBI or police for further investigation.
(3) Receipt in person.
Threats of this nature should be reported to the Airport Manager or other officials as soon as possible.
Note the physical description of the person, including height, weight, sex, color of hair and complexion, colors of eyes, distinguishing marks, clothing or any unusual characteristics.
If a vehicle is involved, note direction taken, including make, model and color, and license number if possible.
If the person states that he has a device on his person or in his luggage, call 911 for police assistance immediately.
