What does the basic plan of an Airport Emergency Plan provide?

The basic plan of an Airport Emergency Plan is critical as it outlines the legal authority and response protocols required during an emergency situation. This document serves as a foundational guideline, establishing who has the authority to make decisions and take action during emergencies, such as natural disasters, accidents, or security threats. It details the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders, including airport personnel, local authorities, and emergency responders, ensuring coordinated and effective responses.

While other components like training schedules, airport maps, and contractor specifications may be important for managing airport operations or planning, they do not form the core of what an Airport Emergency Plan is designed to achieve in terms of emergency response strategy and legal accountability.
