B-4 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 1.0 Executive Summary Started in May of 2006, the Western Airports Disaster Operation Group (WESTDOG) is a consortium of airports in the western region of the United States committed to airport assistance and response during a disaster. Simply stated, the motto of WESTDOG is “airports helping airports.” The Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Mutual Aid Plan (MAP) establishes the basis for the provision and management of airport assistance to an affected airport impacted by a catastrophic or significant disaster or emergency which results in a requirement for local, state or federal response assistance. Airports that participate in WESTDOG do so with the understanding that it is a volunteer program and affiliation has no legal underpinnings and is not binding. This concept allows airports to contribute based on their willingness and ability to provide assistance and resources. The WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan (MAP) is based on the fundamental assumption that a significant disaster or emergency will overwhelm the capability of an airport or local government to carry out the extensive emergency response necessary to save lives, protect property, and most important, restore operations. Consequently, resources of affiliate or supporting airports will be used to provide response assistance to the affected airport. The designated Lead Airport will be responsible for executing the plan coordinating response resources. Under the Mutual Aid Plan, the Lead Airport will appoint a WESTDOG Incident Coordinator (WIC) to coordinate the overall delivery of airport response and assistance. Affiliated or supporting airports will provide response assistance directly to the affected airport or local government, under direction of the Lead Airport/ WESTDOG Incident Coordinator. Airports that affiliate with WESTDOG volunteer to support the overall concept of operations of the Mutual Aid Plan (MAP) and to provide assistance when needed or requested. In addition, affiliate airports also volunteer to participate in planning efforts, conferences, and exercises in order to maintain an overall airport-to-airport response capability. 2.0 Plan Basics 2.1 Glossary of Key Terms: General - The definitions contained in this section apply to the terms used in this plan. Where terms are not included, common usage of the terms shall apply. Agency - Defined either as jurisdictional (having statutory responsibility for incident management) or as assisting or cooperating (providing resources or other assistance). 4 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-5 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan “Shall” - Indicates a mandatory requirement. “Should” - Indicates a recommendation or that which is advised but not required. “Will” - Indicates a mandatory requirement. Deployed Airport - An airport recovery team deployed for the purposes of rendering service- and site-restoration; the reconstitution of airport operations and services. Lead Airport - Defined as the Airport having responsibility for activating and coordinating WESTDOG or as assisting or cooperating (providing resources or other assistance). WESTDOG Incident Coordinator (WIC) – Is the Lead Airport Primary Point of Contact for WESTDOG during an incident. WESTDOG Liaison – Is the WESTDOG point of contact that arrives at the Impacted Airport and is the main link to WESTDOG. Impacted Airport - Is the airport that is affected or impacted by an Incident, Emergency, and or Major Disaster requesting assisting from WESTDOG. Incident - An occurrence or event, natural or human-caused that requires an emergency response to protect life or property. Incidents can, for example, include major disasters, emergencies, terrorist attacks, terrorist threats, wild land and urban fires, floods, hazardous materials spills, nuclear accidents, aircraft accidents, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, war-related disasters, public health and medical emergencies, and other occurrences requiring an emergency response. Emergency - Absent a presidential declared emergency, any incident(s), human-caused or natural, that requires responsive action to protect life or property. Under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, an emergency means any occasion or instance for which, in the determination of the President, Federal assistance is needed to supplement State and local efforts and capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States. Major Disaster - As defined under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122), a major disaster is any natural catastrophe (including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought), or, regardless of cause, any fire, flood, or explosion, in any part of the United States, which in the determination of the President causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under this Act to supplement the efforts and available resources of States, tribes, local governments, and disaster relief organizations in alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby. 5 November 29, 2007

B-6 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan Affiliate Airport - An airport connected to WESTDOG and has a current affiliate airport application form on file with the Lead Airport. Resources - Personnel and major items of equipment, supplies, and facilities available or potentially available for assignment to incident operations and for which status is maintained. Resources are described by kind and type and may be used in operational support or supervisory capacities at an incident or at an EOC. 2.2 Acronyms: EMAC – Emergency Management Assistance Compact OES or OEM or EMD – Your state department of Emergency Management AAAE – American Association of Airport Executives ACI – Airports Council International NIMS – National Incident Management System ICS – Incident Command System UC – Unified Command DHS – Department of Homeland Security FAA – Federal Aviation Administration TSA – Transportation Security Administration FEMA – Federal Emergency Management Agency SEADOG - Southeast Airports Disaster Operations Group CONOPS – Concept of Operations MAP – Mutual Aid Plan WESTDOG – Western Airports Disaster Operations Group WIC - WESTDOG Incident Coordinator 2.3 Background: 2.3.1 The Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) was formed in May, 2007 following a similar consortium and program developed in 2004 by the Southeast Airports Disaster Operations Group (SEADOG). SEADOG was created to respond to potential natural disasters endemic to the region, such as hurricanes, tornados, and floods. Under SEADOG, airports are organized in advance of a disaster in order to respond with aid to another airport impacted by such a disaster. 6 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-7 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 2.3.2 The approach of WESTDOG is to formalize the concept of airport-to-airport mutual aid to western region airports that may be impacted by any natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, floods, wildfires, winter storms or terrorism. Like other public safety mutual aid agreements, participation in WESTDOG is voluntary. 2.4 Premise: 2.4.1 Airports are critical infrastructure and play a vital role in the recovery of a region from a disaster, serving as the lifeline for emergency response, assistance and evacuation. Therefore, it is imperative that airports be restored to operational capability as soon as possible following a disaster. Given the importance air transportation and air services are to disaster response and recovery, it is critical that commercial air transportation be restored as well. 2.4.2 Individual airports have limited capacity and capability to recover from catastrophic events. Following a disaster, highly skilled and specialized employees may be unable to respond to the airport for many reasons including personal injury, displacement, family emergencies and other personal tragedy. 2.4.3 Given the unique and specialized nature of airport operations, systems, and infrastructure, the skills and resources needed to restore airport operations more than likely will not be available in the area. Therefore, it is critical that an airport network or consortium is established and ready to respond and assist with “airport centric” skills and resources. 2.4.4 The WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan (MAP) has been developed to harmonize with existing local, state, and federal disaster or emergency response plans to provide an effective airport-to-airport response. Establishing coordination, communications and operations under the fundamentals of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the plan ensures an essential working relationship is created at the appropriate government or municipal level while providing the vital and timely resources needed to restore an airport’s critical infrastructure and operations. 7 November 29, 2007

B-8 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 2.5 Participation/Affiliation: 2.5.1 While all western area airports are invited to participate in WESTDOG, it is recognized that larger airports have more resources to dedicate to planning and organizational efforts. Therefore, it is anticipated that these airports will assume a lead role in the WESTDOG initiative. 2.5.2 All airports participating in WESTDOG are expected to commit a reasonable number of resources to the ongoing administrative, planning and organizational efforts of WESTDOG. 2.5.3 As stated earlier, WESTDOG is a volunteer program and participating airports are recognized as affiliates after they complete and submit a program affiliation form. 2.5.4 Although the Mutual Aid Plan (MAP) is linked to the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), affiliate airports must be prepared to absorb costs associated with airport assistance and disaster response in the event EMAC reimbursement is unavailable. However, it is unlikely such an instance would occur given the support, funds, and involvement EMAC has with the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA). 3.0 Roles and Responsibilities 3.1 Lead Airport 3.1.1 Administrative Duties of Lead Airport: 3.1.1.1 The Lead Airport shall assign personnel within its organization to coordinate, update, and manage the WESTDOG program. 3.1.1.2 In addition, the Lead Airport shall maintain the WESTDOG Operations Plan, including appendices with checklists for deployment, EMAC procedures, etc. 3.1.1.3 As part of its oversight and management responsibilities, the Lead Airport shall periodically exercise notification procedures and conduct conference calls. 3.1.1.4 To ensure effective continuity, coordination, communication, the Lead Airport shall schedule periodic meetings to review and update the plan, its operational procedures and checklists, including documenting and disseminating plans, procedures, protocols and checklists to associations, airports and others. 8 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-9 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 3.1.1.5 As part of a cooperative agreement, the Lead Airport shall coordinate with SEADOG to share lessons learned. 3.1.2 One (1) airport will be designated as the Lead Airport for WESTDOG for each calendar year. 3.1.3 A second airport will be designated as the Deputy Lead Airport for the same year. 3.1.4 The Lead Airport shall: 3.1.4.1 Organize and chair meetings and conference calls. 3.1.4.2 Lead WESTDOG response efforts within western region. 3.1.4.3 Coordinate WESTDOG response efforts outside of the western region. 3.1.4.4 Coordinate any WESTDOG exercises for the calendar year. 3.1.4.5 Establish the WESTDOG Disaster Operations Center (DOC), provide name of WESTDOG Incident Coordinator (WIC) and be the focal point for all coordination, communications, and support to the Impacted Airport. 3.1.4.6 The Deputy Lead Airport assists the Lead Airport as needed and assumes that responsibility when the Lead Airport is unable to assume its primary lead responsibilities. 3.1.4.7 Establish teleconference and data capabilities to ensure essential communications and coordination with affiliate airports providing response and assistance. NOTE: During the Rita and Katrina hurricane disasters, the FAA provided SEADOG with teleconference capabilities through its mobile “phone bridge” system. 3.2 Deputy Lead Airport 3.2.1 NOTE: The airport assigned as Deputy Lead Airport shall not be in the same area as the Lead Airport. To ensure a disaster does not compromise an airport’s ability to fulfill its WESTDOG responsibilities, it is desired that the Deputy Lead Airport be separated from the designated Lead Airport by at least 300 miles. 9 November 29, 2007

B-10 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 3.3 Participating/Affiliating WESTDOG Airports shall: 3.3.1 Determine their legal ability, liabilities and limitations with regard to participation in WESTDOG. In addition, an affiliate airport shall report determinations to the WESTDOG Lead Airport. 3.3.2 Indicate participation by completing a WESTDOG “Affiliation Form.” 3.3.3 Make a good faith effort to participate in WESTDOG conference calls, meetings, and exercises. 3.3.4 Ensure an airport Affiliation Form is current and on file with the Lead Airport. 3.3.5 Maintain a close relationship with local, county, and state emergency management agencies to facilitate efficient processing of requests for assistance reimbursement. See Section 8.0 for further information. 3.3.6 Coordinate Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) procedures and details with local, county, and state emergency management services/agencies. 3.3.7 Assess its ability to deploy resources following an event and coordinate with the WESTDOG Lead Airport. NOTE: Affiliate airports SHALL NOT self deploy. 3.3.8 Provide to the extent possible, planning, operations, logistics and finance support to WESTDOG organizational efforts and responses to incidents, emergencies, or disasters. 4.0 Concept of Operations 4.1 WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan 4.1.1 The WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan (MAP), as the core operational plan for regional airport disaster response and management, establishes a regional-level coordinating structure, process, and protocols that are designed to be implemented by the designated Lead Airport. The WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan (WMAP), which identifies affiliate airports and incorporates each organization’s pertinent information, provides the basis for contacting affiliate airports, coordinating response and resources, and managing emergency support operations. This is generally accomplished by the Lead Airport’s WESTDOG Incident Coordinator (WIC). The WIC is the primary point of contact (POC) for operations related to activation of the WMAP. 4.1.2 To ensure effective coordination and communication with the Lead Airport, specifically, the WIC, it is paramount that the WESTDOG Liaison be deployed to the affected or impacted airport’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC). This person is the primary point of contact (POC) and the “single link” for all coordination and communication with the WESTDOG Incident Coordinator (WIC). The WESTDOG Liaison communicates directly with the impacted airport’s EOC Director to coordinate WESTDOG’s incident response and resources. 10 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-11 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 4.1.3 The WMAP, together with other established airport mutual aid plans, integrates the capabilities and resources of various airports into a cohesive, coordinated, and seamless regional framework for airport incident and disaster management. 4.2 Transfer of Lead Airport Responsibilities 4.2.1 The WMAP is maintained and managed by the Lead Airport for a period of one calendar year—from January 1 to December 31. To ensure program and plan continuity, the current Lead Airport is responsible for coordinating the transfer of responsibilities to the relieving Lead Airport. 4.3 Other Disaster Response Plans 4.3.1 The WESTDOG MAP is considered a regional affiliation program for airport mutual aid and is not formally related to or associated with any state or federal incident- or hazard specific plans. However, WESTDOG augments local, state and federal incident response plans and establishes a relationship with the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC). Each affiliate airport is responsible to ensure proper coordination with and linkage to its local and/or state EMAC coordinator. 4.4 National Incident Management System 4.4.1 The WESTDOG MAP and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) are complimentary documents designed to assist and enhance the Lead Airport’s incident management capabilities and overall effectiveness. The NIMS provides a template for incident management regardless of magnitude, scope, or cause. Use of NIMS and the WMAP enables the Lead Airport, Impacted Airport, and Deployed Airports to work together effectively and efficiently to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters or incidents. 4.5 Incident Command System 4.5.1 The Incident Command System (ICS) is generally used to establish a Unified Command (UC) when there is more than one agency with incident jurisdiction or when incidents cross-political jurisdictions. Agencies work together through designated members of the Unified Command to establish their designated Incident Commanders at a single Incident Command Post (ICP). In the Unified Command, entities develop a common set of objectives and strategies, which provides the basis for a single Incident Action Plan (IAP). 11 November 29, 2007

B-12 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 4.6 Emergency Management Assistance Compact 4.6.1 The Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) is a national Governor’s interstate mutual aid compact that facilitates the sharing of resources, personnel and equipment across state lines during times of disaster or emergency. EMAC is formalized into law by member parties. Currently, each state is a member of EMAC. 4.6.2 The Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), established in 1996, has been effective and reliable when activated and stands today as the cornerstone of mutual aid. The EMAC mutual aid agreement and partnership between member states exist because from earthquakes, wildfires to toxic waste spills, and terrorist attacks to biological and chemical incidents, all states share a common enemy: the threat of disaster. 4.6.3 Since being ratified by C ongress a nd signed into law, in1996, (Public Law 104- 321), 50 states, the D istrict of Columbia, Puerto R ico, Guam, a nd the US Virgin Islands have enacted legislation to become members of EMAC. EMAC is the first national disaster-relief compact since the Civil Defense and Disaster Compact of 1950 to be ratified by Congress. 4.6.4 For more detailed information on E MAC, its administration, processes, and management, access the EMAC website at www.emacweb.or g . 4.7 Logistics 4.7.1 Once the WESTDOG M AP is activated, the Lead Airport’s WESTDOG I ncident Coordinator (WIC) shall communicate names and key contact information to the WESTDOG affiliates as well as AAAE, ACI-NA and the FAA Region. 4.7.2 Each affiliate airport is responsible for maintaining WESTDOG e-mail and telephone contact information. 4.7.3 To ensure continuity of data and information, the Lead Airport is responsible for maintaining the WESTDOG MAP and associated affiliate airport data file (Airport Affiliation Application and Profile). 4.8 Affiliation 4.8.1 Airports that affiliate with WESTDOG do so in volunteer status. H owever, once the WESTDOG MAP is activated, affiliate airports should expect to be contacted by the Lead Airport regarding its ability to provide response and assistance to an impacted or affected airport. Within the spirit and intent of WESTDOG, each affiliate airport contacted shall determine its ability to provide response and assistance at any given time. 12 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-13 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 5.0 Activation 5.1 Lead Airport shall: 5.1.1 Designate a WESTDOG Incident Coordinator (or coordinator if working multiple shifts) from the Lead Airport to coordinate, administrate and manage the WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan (MAP). 5.1.2 Activate WESTDOG Mutual Aid Plan (MAP). 5.1.3 Make every attempt to contact the Impacted Airport following an emergency to establish points of contact at the Impacted Airport. In addition, the Lead Airport shall remind the Impacted Airport and Deployed Airports to use the WESTDOG MAP to ensure essential coordination and communications. 5.1.3.1 Assess the situation and determine if the Impacted Airport will need assistance. 5.1.3.2 After speaking with the Impacted Airport or if unable to make contact, determine if a reconnaissance team should be deployed to assess the situation. If a team is deployed, it should contact the appropriate authorities to advise and facilitate access to the incident site. 5.1.3.3 Identify and define the initial actions and roles for WESTDOG airports that are providing response and assistance. 5.1.4 Remind the Impacted Airport to coordinate with their state Office of Emergency Services (OES) to initiate the EMAC process and obtain a mission number for the incident or disaster. 5.1.5 Determine what resources are available on scene to support deploying personnel (food, quarters, transportation, communications, etc.). 5.1.6 Schedule conference calls to coordinate initial actions. 5.1.7 Continually disseminate information to all WESTDOG airports-- both deployed and affiliates.

The EMAC mutual aid agreement and partnership between member states exist because from hurricanes to earthquakes, wildfires to toxic waste spills, and terrorist attacks to biological and chemical incidents, all states share a common enemy: the threat of disaster. 8.1.2 Since being ratified by Congress and signed into law, in 1996, (Public Law 104- 321), 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands have enacted legislation to become members of EMAC. EMAC is the first national disaster-relief compact since the Civil Defense and Disaster Compact of 1950 to be ratified by Congress. 15 November 29, 2007

B-16 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 8.1.3 The strength of EMAC and the quality that distinguishes it from other plans and compacts lies in its governance structure, its relationship with federal organizations, states, counties, territories, and regions, and the ability to move just about any resource one state has to assist another state, including medical resources. 8.2 EMAC offers the following benefits: 8.2.1 EMAC assistance may be more readily available than other resources. 8.2.2 EMAC allows for a quick response to disasters using the unique human resources and expertise possessed by member states. 8.2.3 EMAC offers state-to-state assistance during Governor declared state of emergencies: 8.2.4 EMAC offers a responsive and straightforward system for states to send personnel and equipment to help disaster relief efforts in other states. When resources are overwhelmed, EMAC helps to fill the shortfalls. 8.2.5 EMAC establishes a firm legal foundation: Once the conditions for providing assistance to a requesting state have been set, the terms constitute a legally binding contractual agreement that makes affected states responsible for reimbursement. Responding states can rest assured that sending aid will not be a financial or legal burden and personnel sent are protected under workers compensation and liability provisions. The EMAC legislation solves the problems of liability and responsibilities of cost and allows for credentials to be honored across state lines. 8.2.6 EMAC provides fast and flexible assistance: EMAC allows states to ask for whatever assistance they need for any type of emergency, from earthquakes to acts of terrorism. 16 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-17 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 8.2.7 EMAC's simple procedures assist states in dispensing with burdensome bureaucratic processes. 8.2.8 EMAC can mo ve resources other compacts can not - like medical resources. 8.2.9 Thanks to EMAC, states are able to join forces and help one anot her when they need it the most: whenever disaster strikes. 8.3 EMAC Administration 8.3.1 The strength of EMAC and the quality that distinguishes it from other plans and compacts lies in its governance structure. EMAC is administered by NEMA, the National Emergency Management Association. 8.3.2 The EMAC Committee of NEMA , led by its chairperson, is the managing body of the compact and provides overall policy direction for EMAC operations. The committee is made up of representatives from each member state, either the state director or his or her appointed representative. The committee formally meets twice a year, usually concurrently with the NEMA annual and mid - year conferences. 8.3.3 The Chair and the EMAC Executive Task Force ensure that EMAC is in a constant state of readiness and that improvements to the processes are ongoing to meet the needs of member states. The Executive Task Force comprises the Chair, the Chair - elect, the Past Chair, Lead State Representatives (LSRs) fr om each of the 10 FEMA regions, three at - large members, Legal Liaison, as well as the National EMAC Coordinator and the EMAC Senior Advisor. The Executive Task Force meets (at least bimonthly) to conduct the business of the compact. 17

B-18 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 8.3.4 The National EMAC Coordinator and the EMAC Senior Advisor serve ex officio on the Executive Task Force. They do not vote and their positions do not count against the authorized representation. The NEMA EMAC Coordinator is the national point of contact for EMAC, coordinates EMAC activities, maintains the EMAC Operations Manual, the Field Guide, and the Operating Protocols with support from the Senior EMAC Advisor. 8.3.5 The Chair of the Executive Task Force can also appoint Special Assignment implementation and maintenance of the compact. Typically, Special Assignment Task Forces are involved in updating procedures and developing training courses. 8.3.6 The Lead State Representatives (LSRs) serve as information conduits between the Operations Subcommittee and the member states. LSRs represent the viewpoints of the member states by actively participating and voting on official ETF matters. LSRs facilitate training courses and mentor states within their regions. 8.3.7 The NEMA staff provides administrative support to EMAC. 8.4 EMAC Processes and Administration 8.4.1 Generally speaking, EMAC works because the members of the Compact are passionate about helping one another during times of disaster. 8.4.2 EMAC is administered by NEMA, The National Emergency Management Association, who provides the day to day support and technical backbone for EMAC education and operations. To understand the administrative organization of EMAC, please visit “Who Administers EMAC”. 8.4.3 During the times of an emergency, NEMA staff work with EMAC Member States to ensure that a smooth relay of information passes through the EMAC system to coordinate relief efforts. 8.4.4 In the simplest of terms, EMAC works as follows: 18 November 29, 2007

WeSTdOG Manual B-19 Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 8.5 There are eight (8) key entities in EMAC operations: 8.5.1 Requesting State - any EMAC member state that is asking for interstate assistance under the Compact. The governor must declare a state of emergency before the EMAC process can be initiated. 8.5.2 Assisting State - any EMA C member state responding to a request for assistance from and providing resources to another EMAC member state through the Compact. 8.5.3 Authorized Representative (AR) - the person within a member state empowered to obligate state resources (provide assistance) and expend state funds (request assistance) under EMAC. In a Requesting State, the AR is the person who can legally initiate a r equest for assistance under EMAC. In an Assisting State, the AR is the person who can legally a pprove the response to a request for assistance. State Emergency Management Directors a re a utomatically A Rs. The director may delegate this authority t o other emergency m anagement officials within the organization, as long as they possess the same obligating authority as the director. 19 November 29, 2007

B-20 Airport-to-Airport Mutual Aid programs Western Airports Disaster Operations Group (WESTDOG) Airports Mutual Aid Plan 8.5.4 Designated Contact (DC) - is a person within a member state who is very familiar with the EMAC process. The DC serves as the point of contact for EMAC in his or her state and can discuss the details of a request for assistance. This person is not usually legally empowered to initiate an EMAC request or authorize EMAC assistance without direction from the AR. A list of DCs is found in Appendix E in Section V of the EMAC Operations Manual. 8.5.5 EMAC National Coordination Group (NCG) - is the nationwide EMAC point of contact during normal day-to-day, nonevent periods. The NCG is prepared to activate EMAC on short notice by coordinating with the ARs and DCs of the EMAC member states when an emergency or disaster is anticipated or occurs. The NCG is collocated with the current Chair of the EMAC Operations Subcommittee and Executive Task Force. Because the Chair of the EMAC Operations Subcommittee changes every year, the NCG changes every year as well. 8.5.6 EMAC National Coordinating Team (NCT) - If DHS/FEMA activates the National Response Coordination Center to coordinate the federal response and recovery operations during an emergency or disaster, DHS/FEMA may request a coordination element from EMAC. The EMAC NCT is the EMAC team that is deployed to serve as a liaison at the NRCC, located in Washington, D.C. From the NRCC, the EMAC NCT coordinates with the deployed EMAC components responding to the emergency or disaster and is the liaison between the EMAC assistance efforts and the federally provided assistance efforts. The costs for deploying and maintaining an EMAC NCT at the NEOC are reimbursed by DHS/FEMA through NEMA/CSG. 8.5.7 EMAC Regional Coordinating Team (RCT) - If DHS/FEMA activates a Regional Coordination Center (RRCC) to coordinate the regional response and recovery operations during an emergency or disaster, DHS/FEMA may request a coordination element from EMAC.
