What term is used for plans created to identify needs before incidents occur?

• A. Airport/Community Emergency Plans (A/CEPs)
• B. Standard Emergency Response Plans (SERPs)
• C. Incident Action Plans (IAPs)
• D. Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs)

Answer: (A)

Focusing on pre-incident planning, this question is about plans created to identify resources and needs before an event happens. The Airport/Community Emergency Plan is the document that maps out what assets exist, where gaps might hinder a response, and how airport and local authorities will coordinate, communicate, and request mutual aid when an aircraft incident occurs. It’s designed ahead of time to ensure responders know what they need and how to get it as soon as an incident starts. This differs from an Incident Action Plan, which is produced during a response to guide day-to-day operations; and from Emergency Operations Plans, which are broader community-wide plans for major emergencies. Standard Emergency Response Plans aren’t the ARFF term typically used for this pre-incident, needs-identification planning.
