Exercise Parameters (1)

 Participation only through prior coordination with

local DART Operator

 Earthquake occurs 7:30AM  Local DART Operators activate, operate, hot wash,

tear down by 3:00pm

 Regional DART Operator meeting Reid Hillview

Airport 5:00pm to 8:00pm includes regional hot wash at 7:00pm

13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Exercise Parameters (2)

 Flight Operations per Federal Aviation Regulations

Part 91

 Volunteer services - no charge to passengers/freight  DART Operators pre-authorized through CalDART  DART Operator Mgmt & Pilots CalDART members

14

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Exercise Parameters - Insurance

 Pilot presents Aircraft Liability Insurance policy

summary

 General Liability and Non Owned Aircraft Liability

insurance to exercise participants through CalDART

 Select counties provide Disaster Service Worker

coverage to DART volunteers (equivalent to Workers’ Comp)

15

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Safety and Risk Management

 DART mgmt team: Knowledgeable, capable, experienced  Ramp safety: public access controlled, experienced ramp supervisor,

ramp volunteers experienced or trained

 Flight safety: Certificated pilots, airworthy planes, pilot certificate and

medical check, pilot certifies to operate in accordance with Part 91, proposed flights reviewed by Flight Ops Manager and pilot, materiel/passengers logged and weighed, Pilot and Aircraft Information Form, Aircraft Load Sheet, Pilot loads plane (responsible weight and balance)

 Liability Waivers: ground volunteers, pilots, public  Written plan, detailed procedures, yearly practice

Frequently Asked Questions

18

slide-19
SLIDE 19

What Does CalDART Do?

 Enables managed utilization of the GA Fleet in Disaster

Response Operations

 Organizes California DART Operators  Promotes formation of new California DART Operators  Reduces labor required to start a new DART Operator  Provides Disaster Airlift Response Plan  Deals with common DART issues  Purchases insurance for all CalDART DART Operators  Maintains relations with statewide emergency community

19

slide-20
SLIDE 20

What is a DART Operator?

 A team that exists to provide emergency air transportation

service during a disaster that impairs surface transportation

 Arranges an annual practice mobilization  Invites others in the disaster response community to participate  For CalDART DART Operators: minimum 3 to 5 organizers join

CalDART plus pilots flying in exercise

 Request/Provide mutual aid  3 to 5 members listed on The California DART Network Contact

List

20

slide-21
SLIDE 21

What is a DART Supporter?

 A person who registers with CalDART who

 Does not have a local DART Operator to join  Agrees to solicit pilots at their airport to assist a DART

Operator’s mobilization if requested

 Is listed on the private California DART Network

Contact List

 Can request assistance from DART Operators on the

California DART Network Contact List

21

slide-22
SLIDE 22

What is the California DART Network Contact List?

 A private list shared among all people on list  Provides contact information for DART Operators and

DART Supporters

 Facilitates mutual aid and scalability of operations  Available to emergency managers during a disaster

22

slide-23
SLIDE 23

How Does DART Fit in to FEMA’s NIMS?

(Federal Emergency Management Agency National Incident Management System)

CalDART and its DART Operators are Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOADs) which support the local community, coordinating with local EOCs (Emergency Operations Centers) as

  • necessary. A VOAD is a

type of NGO (Non Governmental Organization).

slide-24
SLIDE 24

How does DART Align With FEMA National Preparedness Goals?

 DART aligns with FEMA’s Response Mission Area  DART supports these Response Core Capabilities:

 Critical Transportation  Logistics and Supply Chain Management  Situational Assessment

Selecting Airports Arranged for Various Disaster Applications

25

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Simple Air Bridge for Road Closure

 Pick the two closest

airports on either side of a road closure

 e.g, 2015 Highway

58 mudslides between Tehachapi and Mojave

26

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Higher Capacity Air Bridge

 Road closure  Use Multiple Airports  Allows more flights  e.g. If Hwy 101 fails in

Coyote Valley, use 8 airports to bridge the closure

27

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Many to One Airbridge

 Loma Prieta ’89  Providing airports

Hamilton, Reid Hillview, Concord, San Carlos, Half Moon Bay

 Receiving airport

Watsonville

28

slide-29
SLIDE 29

 Pair each afflicted airport

with an outside airport

 Evacuate people on the way

  • ut

 Bring food/ supplies on the

way in

 Run airports at max capacity  Requires many pilots, planes

SLIDE 30

Airport Shuttle

 SFO, OAK, Moffett

closed (Liquefaction)

 SJC serves entire area  Use RHV as shuttle  Bus people between

RHV and SJC

 RHV flights in gray, SJC

flights in pink

30

slide-31
SLIDE 31

GA Airport Alternative to Airlines

 See flight plans filed from

Van Nuys in 2009

 Van Nuys similar to Santa

Rosa, Napa, Concord, Oakland North Field, Hayward, Livermore, Hollister, Salinas, Monterey, Watsonville, Half Moon Bay

 Useful to know for

disaster response
