8 Airport Operations Pre-storm Documentation Operations will video-tape all airfield structures to include buildings, signage, Navaids, aircraft onsite, etc. Operations will document all working and out-ofservice access control systems until the airport feels the effects of the storm. Operations and AIRCOM will utilize a Storm Damage Log to document any systems, structures, or equipment reported damaged or out-of-service due to the effects of the storm.

9 DOCUMENTATION Post-Storm Documentation Operations will video-tape all damaged airfield structures (buildings, signage, Navaids, aircraft, etc.) Operations will update the Hurricane Damage Log with any system, structure, or equipment damage report due to the storm. Operations will take pictures and write reports for any major damage found on the airfield.

19 PENSACOLA S POST-IVAN LESSONS LEARNED

20 Lessons Learned The airfield remained open throughout the day as general aviation (GA) pilots continued to ferry aircraft out of the storm s path. GA continued to fly even after the air traffic control tower closed due to high winds.

21 Lessons Learned An unexpected occurrence was the rush of rental car returns prior to the storm as people sought to relieve themselves of any liability for damages.

22 Lessons Learned Maintenance personnel were needed early on to secure jet bridges, loose items on the airfield, and clear debris from the storm water system.

23 Lessons Learned As the storm approached, the terminal building roof started leaking. Operations personnel placed trash cans beneath leaks throughout the terminal building.

24 Lessons Learned The airport terminal generator room began to flood and attempts to reach it were futile in the high winds. The emergency generators maintained power throughout the storm, but there were multiple power blips and surges.

25 Lessons Learned Information that was coming from cable, satellite and/or Internet began to fail one by one.

26 Lessons Learned As the storm hit, the windows in the terminal building began to flex and rain started coming in between the seals. The inside of the terminal building looked like one of those Mexican Riviera bars with waterfalls everywhere.

27 Along with massive flooding from the damaged roof, wet ceiling tiles failed, damaging the gift shop and restaurant. Glass and metal doors blew off their hinges, signs, light posts and even roof gravel became airborne projectiles moving across the airfield.

28 Lessons Learned During the storm, airport staff spent most of its time keeping a running list of damages and tried to prioritize what needed to be fixed and when.

29 Lessons Learned The airport s internal 800 MHz trunk system worked only sporadically. All other forms of communication, including cell phones, were down.

30 Lessons Learned FEMA designated the airport as a local staging area for relief supplies. With the arrival of hundreds of semi-trucks, airport staff was forced to find food, water and toilet facilities for the drivers, soldiers and workers.

31 Lessons Learned Whole sections of the interstate system collapsed, cutting the community off from everything except the airport for the first 72 hours.

32 Lessons Learned Clearing the airfield of debris was the top priority.

33 Lessons Learned Helicopter landing pads were the first to open as Coast Guard helicopters arrived with the first evacuees. The next wave of aircraft included military C- 17s and C-130s with food, water and supplies along with 300 soldiers.

34 Lessons Learned The airport did not have provisions to feed everyone until about three days after the storm. That was the biggest lesson learned.

35 Lessons Learned Potable water was in short supply. We had 40 stalls in a bathroom and no water to flush the toilets

36 Lessons Learned Airport staff spent a great deal of time deciding who would be allowed to land and who wouldn t.

37 Lessons Learned Recovery efforts continued as nearby airports sent personnel and supplies to help with airfield maintenance. The Florida Airports Council also provided assistance.

38 FEMA will provide funds for recovery and restoration, but only after all local, state and insurance monies are disbursed. FEMA also requires highly detailed and careful recordkeeping, along with other considerations.

39 Lessons Learned The airport was losing $50,000 in revenue for every day it was closed. Commercial service started back up a week later.

40 Hurricane Ivan was responsible for the deaths of nearly 60 people. Nearly a year after the storm, many parts of Pensacola and the airport were still recovering.

41 Mission In order to be as prepared as possible, we must: Use all available resources Learn from past experiences Make efficient decisions Maintain the safety of our staff
