Integrating Web-Based Emergency Management Collaboration Software into Airport Operations--A Primer

Various in-house and commercial off-the-shelf software and web-based collaboration, communication and control systems are being utilized as emergency management tools by municipalities and airports. There are a variety of tools used to coordinate between on-scene commanders and emergency operations centers for needed resources. While these web-based collaboration tools have proven useful in emergency management, they may also have applicability at airports for other non-routine activities/operations, such as weather events, diversions, and security incidents. As airport communications and emergency response becomes more sophisticated and the use of technology increases, guidelines are needed to help airports evaluate the benefits and costs of implementing or expanding existing web-based communications and controls systems. This primer helps airports and municipalities integrate web-based collaboration tools into their day-to-day and emergency management operations, identify the features and functions appropriate for their unique needs, and implement an effective web-based collaboration tool.
