Therefore the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) requires all commercial service airports to conduct tabletop emergency exercises every year with a full scale emergency drill every third year (triennial). AGS conducted its triennial emergency drill on May 23rd. Participating in the drill along with the airport were emergency response agencies from Richmond County, local hospitals, the Red Cross and other community organizations. Airport personnel and the other emergency response groups had the opportunity to practice procedures needed in the event of an actual aircraft accident or emergency. “ I am very pleased with the amount of support from the 18 different local and state agencies involved in the 6 planning meetings that led up to our May 23rd Mock Disaster Drill in support of our approved Emergency Plan”, said Tim Weegar, Director of Operations. “Everyone did a good job and all of our objectives were met” said Fire Chief, Willie Paulk. “We responded to the crash site within the FAA’s required time frame and were able to assist “passengers” with their mock injuries in a safe and efficient manner.” As a result of these drills and exercises, airport personnel are better prepared to respond in an actual emergency and can make improvements to those areas where there is room for improvement SUMMER ISSUE 2012 • AGS GIVES BACK • CONSTRUCTION UPDATE • AGS EMERGENCY PLAN different times and days in order to evaluate a variety of employees.

  • 5. Airport Roles
    5. AIRPORT ROLES As part of GDOT’s prior airport system plans, criteria were identified to assign each airport in the state system to a role or level. In Georgia, airport levels generally reflect the type of users each airport accommodates and the facilities and services that the airport has in place. Levels also typically reflect the airport’s relative importance, as it relates to meeting the state’s transportation and economic needs and objectives. Further, airport levels are often matched to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the communities the airport serves. This chapter of the update to the Georgia Statewide Airport System Plan (GSASP) provides the following: • Review of current airport roles. • Comparison of Georgia state airport levels/roles to roles for Georgia airports established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in their ASSET Study or National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). • Discussion of the need to consider change to current airport levels. • Recommendations for changes to current airport levels. Chapter 6, Airport Facility and Service Objectives, examines the ability of each airport to meet facility and service objectives that are applicable to each airport’s recommended level. 5.1 Factors That Influence Current Roles for Georgia Airports Levels for Georgia airports were established in the 2002 GSASP; the following factors were considered in the 2002 system plan to assign Georgia airports to a level: • Coverage: Percentage of the state contained in an airport service area. This factor included the establishment of a 30-minute service area for each airport via a geographic information system (GIS) drive time analysis.

    Chapter 10 – State Quality Community Objectives CHAPTER 10 STATE QUALITY COMMUNITY OBJECTIVES 233 Chapter 10 – State Quality Community Objectives 234 Chapter 10 – State Quality Community Objectives INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Intergovernmental coordination is important to the City of Augusta and the successful implementation of city’s Comprehensive Plan. Over the years, intergovernmental coordination has involved such as activities as working with neighboring communities on projects of mutual interest, participating in intergovernmental forums and programs, and assessing the potential impact of projects on adjacent communities. Some of the primary intergovernmental coordination tools currently used by the city of Augusta include those outlined below. These and other tools will be considered in developing the Community Agenda. Service Delivery Strategy – In 1999, Augusta-Richmond County, Hephzibah and Blythe developed a Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) in compliance with the Georgia Service Delivery Strategy Law (House Bill 489 – 1997). The adopted SDS includes a summary of service delivery agreements among the three local governments, copies of applicable agreements and contracts, and maps of applicable service delivery areas. The SDS is designed to promote effectiveness, cost efficiency, and funding equity in the delivery of essential public services. The SDS also includes an Agreement to Resolve Land Use Classification Disputes. The agreement spells out an intergovernmental review process for proposed zoning or land use map changes affecting property within 1,000 feet of a common boundary. In March 2004, the three local governments reviewed the original SDS and determined that it continued to accurately reflect the preferred arrangements for providing local services throughout Richmond County. The SDS will be reviewed and updated as necessary in 2008.
