Incident Command Strategies for Airports
 
If you have been in airport emergency management for any length of time, you know that incident command can be a challenge. Off-airport responders often are not familiar with the airport environment; there are challenges with who the incident commander should be and where the lines of authority are drawn. Even if you think you have “solved” these problems, you may not be happy with those solutions. ICS for Airports provides you with three different strategies for implementing an effective airport incident command system or revising an existing program. Even if you don’t wholly implement these programs, you will come away with ideas for improving your incident management effectiveness.

It was an honor to go through this process and earn the designation with such a great group of industry professionals. Jeffrey C Price, MA, CM, CPP did an amazing job delivering the material…R. Collins, C.M., ACE

_________________________________________________________________________________

Last Monday-Friday, I attended the Loretta Scott Training for my CM… If you are on the fence about this training or the CM program then I would like to encourage you to make the decision to do this. Our instructor, was a difference maker for me in being able to learn and retain this amount of information. I went in with extremely limited knowledge related to any of the areas of operations outside of my own (Marketing/PR), but was able to follow and learn because of Jeff’s teaching style and interaction with us in class. Of all of the conferences and industry events that I have attended in both aviation and outside of this field, I can 100% assure you that this class was the best use of my time and money that I have ever experienced. The things I learned are going back to my airport with me and making a difference. I encourage you to attend and to send your Marketing / PR people if they haven’t attended. Thank you to and to Jeff for providing this outstanding program. ” – J. Kuner, C.M.

“…it’s obvious (that Jeff) has been doing this awhile and has a passion for teaching, and finding effective ways to prepare students.   While there was an incredible amount of information crammed into a week’s time, the way the program/class was designed, presented and organized, and the methods Jeff used and encouraged us to utilize to prepare for the exam, were a huge help.    It was one of the better classes I have taken, and one that I actually enjoyed – which makes learning that much easier.” – Brian L. Wayne County Airport Authority

“Thanks so much for your efforts this past semester…the CM exam was tough but thanks to your masterful “leading edge” teaching strategies, and wonderful way of making complex concepts easy to understand, I am now an AAAE A.M.!

I have to be honest, the test was very tough, and I had some doubt if I was successful, especially after falling four points short twice! You can imagine my surprise when I saw my score of 86.67! You helped me gain a plus 20 points!!!!

Thanks again, and please feel free to share this testimonial with anyone whom you feel may be encouraged!” – Lou S. Department of Aviation, Farmingdale State College
