Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team

proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

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

68A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

68A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

68A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

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

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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT

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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team

proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team

proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

68A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident Commander provides overall leadership for
incident response The most qualified person at the scene is designated as Incident Commander

68A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

68A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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

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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems

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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area

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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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

Command and Control
Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team

proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

Initiating an A-CERT for airport response requires coordination with response procedures in accordance with AEPEOP
Certain core mechanisms and procedures common to mobilization of A-CERT member resources for airport response are discussed here
69A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

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

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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area

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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program

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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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

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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems

A-CERT
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 ICS
This 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
70A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Telephone notification to A-CERT team
leadersbull Pagersbull Communication radiosbull County dispatch center notification
proceduresbull Other electronic notification methods or use
of cell phone networks
71A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
[Add site-specific details as necessary]
A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

A-CERT
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
72A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 areasbull Dedicated A-CERT space in airport buildingbull Airport ARFF stationbull Airport maintenance facilitybull Airport landside parking area
73A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 operations A-CERT members should be familiar with conditions under
which AEPEOP 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
74A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed

A-CERT
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
AEPEOP or local emergency management agencies may prescribe methods of accountability ranging from simple sign-in procedures to badging to complex tagging systems
75A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
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 includebull Using common terminologybull Working through an Incident Commander or Unified
Command Structurebull Participating in Incident Action Planning
76A-CERT Basic TrainingAirport CERT Program
A-CERT
Command and Control
Types of ICS Structures Incident 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 incident
Note To maintain unity of command and safety of responders chain of command must NOT be bypassed
