Material type:
TextPublication details: Canada : Emergency Communications Research Unit, 2001.Description: 30 p. ; 30 cmReview: On September 11, 2001, U.S. registered aircraft were redirected to other airports. Most needed a North American airport, and that airport had to be Canada. On the East Coast, two factors affected where jets landed, the jet stream and the weather. This article is about how Gander handled that situation. As will be shown, the community activated a number of emergency operations centers (EOCs) and each ended up managing one aspect of the response. Though the airport was the key, the result was a coordinated system that ran smoothly without any single agency taking charge. This article describes how that system came about, why it worked and how Gander avoided problems that often occur with multiple EOCs and emergent groups.
