Contingency planning is crucial for small airports to best position themselves for addressing disruptions and contingencies - such as the COVID-19 pandemic - that impact staffing, financial and information technology resources, infrastructure, facilities, and/or supply chain shortages.
ACRP Web-Only Document 59: Integration of Contingency Planning for Small Airports, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides resources, tools, and examples of integration that can guide future efforts undertaken by small airports. Smart, integrated contingency planning can minimize the operational and economic impacts to airports and their stakeholders and those who depend on their services.
Supplemental to the report is a Conduct of Research, a Checklist and Calendar, a Checklist of Contingency Plans, a Checklist of Exercise Types, a Contingency Plan Deconfliction Tool, a Contingency Planning and Integration Tree, Crisis Communications, an EOC Tool, a Course Selection Guide, and a Succession Planning Tool.
