EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
AUTHOR Charity Catalfomo
Practical ICS Integration
for Airport Operators
MOST AIRPORT operators and response personnel
are familiar with the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS),
but how do we truly integrate ICS for a more effective
response to incidents with respect to the variability of
an airport environment? What practices and training
should be prioritized for successful integration and
practical application?
According to Title 14 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, Part 139 regulated
airports are required to integrate
NIMS into their airport emergency
plans. As a quick refresher, NIMS is
a standardized approach to incident
management developed by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.

NIMS utilizes ICS as an incident
management tool which provides for
a standardized approach to command,
control and coordination. Federal
Aviation Administration Advisory
Circular 150/52-31C provides guidance
to Part 139 regulated airports for
the integration of NIMS.
This guidance comes with comProtect

plexity for implementation and integration
at our nation's airports. As a
note, not every airport in the U.S. is
regulated under the Code of Federal
Regulations-Part 139, including many
general aviation airports. Though not
all are federally mandated to implement
NIMS, it is noted that NIMS
and ICS guidelines are applicable and
useful to airports of various sizes and
types of operation for a coordinated
and integrated approach to incident
response and command. As noted in
the Airport Cooperative Research
Program (ACRP) Report 103, airports
may face many challenges in the integration
of NIMS including resource
availability, budget, willingness of
personnel, reliance on community
and mutual aid resources, frequency
of events and management support.
Major emergencies at an airport,
those that have the capability to impact
human lives, cause damage to property/environment
or have a significant
impact to the operational status of the
airport might be categorized as low
frequency, but high impact. In the
event of a major emergency, it might
be easier to anticipate the benefits of
a pre-planned, standardized approach
to management of an incident that
includes multi-agency response and
recovery. Let us though consider the
type of incidents that airports deal
with most routinely; incidents that
may be short in time duration, those
in which an airport operator may
have a well-rehearsed, checklist type
