Little Rock National Airport to Conduct Emergency Preparedness Exercise

Residents should not be alarmed by emergency activity going on at Little Rock National Airport tomorrow, April, 26. The airport is conducting a full-scale, triennial emergency preparedness exercise which is required by the FAA for certification purposes.

Emergency plan exercises are designed to test the effectiveness of the airport’s emergency plan and, in addition, provide training to emergency personnel responding to airport emergency incidents.

Represented in the exercise will be local fire, police and other first responders, who will coordinate their response to the simulated emergency.
 
Normal airport operations will not be affected. Regular flights will operate as scheduled.
