To be adequately and better prepared for earthquakes and other hazard events, the state needs to have a complete inventory of existing airport facilities. At present, there is no single source of information on all such facilities in Western Washington. The primary objective of this project is to collate existing materials and develop missing ones for each airport of interest to be used as an appendix of the Washington State Aviation All Hazards Plan. That inventory is required for the state’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. The primary benefit of the project will be a consolidated database and report of information that officials can use in the event of an emergency. The improved availability of this information will increase emergency preparedness and overall safety for Washington state residents.
