An Airport Guide for Regional Emergency Planning for CBRNE Events

This report addresses the details airports should cover in their hazard and threat assessments and in their Airport Emergency Plans (AEPs) and Annexes so that response to significant incidents can be more thoroughly and accurately planned. It also discusses special issues involving terrorist use of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) materials targeted to airports, and the mutual aid that would be drawn from beyond the immediate locale. The results of an airport survey on preparedness and the highlights from selected AEPs are presented for consideration by other airports. Also, federal emergency preparedness standards are compared to the provisions of AEPs in general, with suggestions on priorities for upgrading AEPs to meet those standards.
