AIRPORT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE
– DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Purpose:
This procedure defines all-hazard disaster
management responsibilities and actions to be taken by the Spruce Creek
Airport Management and Ground Support organization. Disaster management
in this document is defined as the preparation for, response to, recovery
from and mitigation of potential disasters which are deemed likely to
occur at or in the area of Spruce Creek Airport.
Scope:
This procedure will be limited to Spruce
Creek Airport security, runways, taxiways, tie down areas, common apron
areas, navigational aid systems, airport related antennas, airport
signage, beacons and obstruction lighting that are used in the overall
support of airport operations. This procedure does not apply to
privately owned aircraft, hangars or SCPOA leased space unless it is
specifically written into a lease agreement or this document. Aviation
fuel stored at Spruce Creek Aviation and Yelvington Jet Aviation
provide a potential source for disaster, however these are private
facilities not under the control of Spruce Creek Airport and therefore
not a part of this procedure.
Potential disaster hazards come in many forms
and in varying degrees of probability. While all disaster hazards are
worthy of attention, this procedure will focus on those with a high
probability of occurrence and affect on the assets of Spruce Creek
Airport. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has defined a number of potential disaster
hazards in three general categories, Terrorism, Technological Hazards,
and Natural Hazards.
Acts of Terrorism, consisting of Explosions,
Biological Threats, Chemical Threats, Nuclear Blasts, and Radiological
Dispersion Devices, are vested on targets with a high national profile.
Spruce Creek Airport is not deemed to be a target of sufficiently high
profile to be at risk of acts of terrorism.
Technological Hazards, consisting of
Hazardous Material Incidents and Nuclear Power Plant Incidents, are
confined to areas of the country in the vicinity of Nuclear Power
Plants or Hazardous Material manufacturing, transport or storage
facilities. Spruce Creek Airport has no Technological Hazard facilities
in the immediate vicinity and is therefore not deemed at risk.
Back To Top
Natural Hazards, consisting of Floods, High
Intensity Tornados, Hurricanes, Thunderstorms (with possible imbedded
tornadoes), Winter Storms, Extreme Heat, Earthquakes, Volcanoes,
Landslides, Tsunamis, and Wild Land Fires occur throughout the United
States with varying degrees of probability for different regions of the
country.
The Natural Hazards risk level for the Spruce
Creek Airport area is as follows:
Floods – moderate risk
High Intensity Tornados
– low risk
Hurricanes – very high
risk
Thunderstorms (with possible
imbedded tornadoes) – high risk
Winter Storms – low
risk
Extreme Heat –
moderate risk
Earthquake – low risk
Volcanoes – low risk
Landslides – low risk
Tsunamis – low risk
Wild Land Fire – low
risk (to Spruce Creek Airport proper)
The Spruce Creek Airport Authority Committee
has considered all of the FEMA listed potential hazards and has defined
hurricanes and thunderstorms to be the hazards to which the airport is
most susceptible. This document will therefore focus Spruce Creek
Airport Disaster Management practices on the hazards of hurricanes and
thunderstorms.
