Flagstaff Pulliam Airport to conduct simulated aircraft incident exercise
Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG) will conduct a full-scale exercise simulating an aircraft crash resulting in a mass casualty incident on Monday, Sept. 9, 2024. This exercise, named "Operation Ready FLG," is being carried out in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations.
The primary goal of the exercise is to test and enhance the airport's emergency response capabilities in the event of a mass casualty incident. More than 25 local, state, and federal agencies will participate in the exercise to improve interoperability and coordination.
The scenario will include a simulated aircraft incident, with emergency response activities such as rescue operations, triage treatment, and the transport of injured persons. This exercise provides an opportunity for airport personnel, first responders, and partner agencies to evaluate and focus on critical components of emergency preparedness and response.
Community members interested in volunteering to participate can register online at uwna.volunteerhub.com/vv2/lp/OperationFLG/. Pre-registration is required. For questions about volunteering, please email [email protected]
