Introductionn airport emergency is any occasion or instance, natural or man-made that warrants action to save lives and protects property and public health. Virtually no airport has sufficient resources to respond to every emergency situation independently.  Each

airport must depend to some degree on the resources from its surrounding communities.   It is essential to prepare for emergencies that face an airport in order to be able to respond quickly, efficiently and effectively.

AAn airport emergency can occur anywhere, at any time - day or night, under any weather

condition, and in varying degrees of magnitude; it can occur instantaneously or develop slowly; it can last only a few minutes or go on for days.  It can be natural, such as a hurricane or earthquake, or it can be "man-made", such as a hazardous materials spill, terrorism, major fire, or power outage. Moreover, emergencies of the same type can differ widely, depending on factors such as degree of warning, duration, and scope of impact.  The important thing to remember is that, while emergencies can seldom be exactly predicted, they can be anticipated and prepared for.

The potential for disaster exists everywhere, and the cost in suffering, life, and property can be devastatingly high.  Since emergencies are perceived as low probability events and because preparedness requires cost in time and finances, the importance of such planning can often be overlooked.  

However airports and communities that experience such disasters can pay a high price if they are not prepared.  In addition to health and safety problems, social disruption, lawsuits, negative publicity, and psychological after-effects may result.  While every contingency cannot be anticipated and prepared for, a strong emergency preparedness program can assist in limiting the negative impact of these events, including liability and other post-emergency issues.

Although there is certain manual and procedure needs to be done in order to support the emergency procedure in safest way to ensure safety of the airport, passenger and aircraft

In this assignment u will gathered information about airport emergency and one of the emergency procedures.

A search of the premises will be conducted by utilizing occupants of the premise familiar with the building.

Should a suspicious package or device be discovered during the search the Fire Department Bomb Squad will respond to dispose of the package or device?

Ensure all personnel and vehicles are kept a minimum safe distance of 500 feet from around the building. Divert flights over the building with a suspicious package or device.

CONCLUSIONltimately , there is no airport that can independently withstand all types of emergencies . Every airport at some point must rely to some of the resources from its immediate communities. As we know from real world experience, the key to effective and

efficient emergency response is simply: practice, practice and more practice. All the crews that take part always have to alert.

U

In fact it is emergency and all job need to be done quickly you still have to make sure to follow the procedure to ensure safety and to avoid injury.All the emergency equipment need to be serrvicing always.
