Definition and Disaster Classification

• Natural (Dense Fog, Mud slides, Floods, Earthquakes, Snow storms)

• Wildlife Disasters (e.g. Bird Strikes)

• Human factors- Unintentional/Accidents (Collisions/Plane crashes due to spatial disorientation)

• Intentional/Man Made (Terrorism/Bomb threats)

• Other (e.g. Contagious Infectious Diseases)

*Disaster is defined as that which produces casualties in numbers and rapidity, sufficient to overwhelm community function/resources.

Multiple Patient Incident (<10 patients, can be transported to a hospital within 15 to 30 min)

Multiple Casualty incident (involves upto 50 victims, seldom last not more than a few hours)

Mass Casualty Incidents (true disaster, that involves hundreds to thousands of victims and lasts hours, days, or weeks)

There was a total of 10,005 deaths from 1935 to 2014 in the six phases (Taxi-467, Takeoff-1443,

Initial Climb-1452, En route-3200, Approach-2064, Landing-1379) among the ten worst accidents

globally. This includes both accidents that occurred at military airstrips and other airports, involving either military

aircraft or commercial airlines.

From the 10 worst accidents globally from the period 1935 to 2014, among the six phases of Flight, the en route phase had the most (32%) fatalities (3200/10,005), and the taxi phase had the least (less than 5%) fatalities (467/10,005).

The Tenerife (Los Rodeos) Airport, Spain had slightly higher fatalities (on Taxi, Initial Climb and Takeoff) in comparison to other airports. There were two separate accidents at that airport in 2 different years. The first one was on 3 Dec, 1972 when Convair lost control due to weather conditions of zero visibility on initial climb phase of flight and crashed killing 155 occupants (148 passengers and 7 crew). The second is the deadliest accident in global aviation history. It was due to the collision of two airlines (Panam at the Taxi phase and KLM in the Take off phase) on March 27, 1977, killing a total of 583 occupants from both planes.

Loss of Control was the most (29%) common reason for accidents in all phases of flight (26/91) and the most common (47%) reason for accidents in initial climb phase of the accident. There was no loss of control in the Taxi phase of accident.

  Runway excursion was the most common (31%) reason among the 10 worst accidents in the landing phase. This

confirms the findings (runway excursion is the most common reason of accidents in the landing phase of flight) in the literature.

Airport Safety & Standards

14 CFR Part 139 (Federal airport certification regulation), 2004 (FAA’s final rule)

International Health Regulations (IHR), was developed by the World Health Organization in 1969

Sanitary Airport A sanitary airport is an airport, designated as sanitary by the local health

administration of a State. The health administration shall designate a number of sanitary airports in its territory, provided they meet the provisions of article 14 and the conditions of paragraph 2 of article 18 of the IHR.

(Source: International Health Regulations, 3rd annotated ed, Geneva, WHO, 1983)

Management of Airport Disasters Cont’d

Certified airports -required to have a full scale drill of their emergency plan

every 3 years, and an annual meeting to review the plan with all the involved

parties

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organizations requires a

written plan and a twice yearly drill for hospitals. Most plans use the Incident Command System (ICS) as a framework for control of a disaster. It was devised in the early 1970's

The color coded triage system (Red, Green, Yellow and Black) is internationally accepted and is usually part of a patient identification system

“Triage implies making the most efficient use of available resources”

- Erik Auf der Heide

Page 23: Airport Disasters Medical Response and Management

Management of Airport Disasters

Be aware of “Auf Der Heides” Principles of Disaster Response

Medical Planning at large airports to deal with major disasters requires a command post for the triage/treatment center

Training with ADMS (Advanced Disaster Management Simulator) to train incident commanders, command post staff and vehicle operators at all levels on airport emergencies.

Be aware of FAA’s Known “Best Practices” for Airfield Safety- for Air Traffic Controllers, Pilots and Airport Personnel.

FAA’s Wildlife hazard Mitigation program (e.g. habitat modification, proper landscaping, airport planning, by controlling land uses, away from land fills, that attract wild life can reduce bird strike and other animal hazards)

In Israel, bird radars are used to detect and predict the flight and migration of birds to reduce bird strikes (Dr. Yossi Leshem, Andre Allard Memorial Lecture at 61st International Congress of International Academy of Aviation and Space Medicine in Jerusalem, October 6-10, 2013)
