GM1 ADR.OPS.B.005(b) Aerodrome emergency planning ED Decision 2014/012/R COORDINATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANISATIONS (a) The aerodrome emergency plan should describe the procedures for coordinating the response of different aerodrome agencies organisations or services (e.g. ground handlers, airlines, security services) and those agencies in the surrounding community that could be of assistance in responding to an emergency. (b) If the aerodrome emergency plan is not part of a National or Local Emergency Plan, then it should be coordinated as required. (c) Emergency mutual aid agreements should be established to define responsibilities and/or liabilities of each external agency responding to an emergency. These agreements should include the following: (1) clarification of the political and jurisdictional responsibilities of the several agencies (e.g. police, local fire fighting services, local authorities, accident investigation bodies, etc.) that could be involved in order to avoid problems when an emergency occurs; (2) establishment of the command authority; i.e. a single on-the-scene commander (with designated alternates if necessary); (3) designation of communication priorities at the accident site; (4) organisation of emergency transportation facilities under (a) pre-designated coordinator(s); (5) predetermination of the legal authorities and liabilities of all cooperating emergency personnel; and (6) pre-arrangements for use of portable and heavy rescue equipment from available sources. (d) The aerodrome emergency plan should be implemented similarly whether it is an on-aerodrome or an off-aerodrome aircraft accident/incident. (e) Rendezvous signs and directional arrows should be consistent, and conform to national standards. (f) The aerodrome operator should assess the level of medical supplies to be held on the aerodrome for emergency purposes.
