EACCC Process• In case of crisis, the EACCC Chairman will contact:

• the relevant State Focal Points, • any organisation/agency that may provide information/help (eg.

VAAC, EC Radiation Protection unit, NATO, External CAAs)

• EACCC is convened via meeting or teleconference,

• A crisis mitigation policy is discussed, agreed and approved by EACCC,

• Information is disseminated to relevant parties,

• When the crisis is resolved, EACCC is deactivated,

• A debriefing EACCC session is held to address the lessons-learned and remaining actions.

Network Manager’s Role• During crisis:

• NM, with the support of EACCC, will coordinate the response, mitigate the impact, and escalate issues to appropriate bodies.

• EACCC composition shall be extended to include impacted state representatives and other operational contacts where deemed necessary by NM.

• The State Focal Points will be the link between their respective local Crisis Structures and the EACCC.

• During normal times:

• NM will lead and coordinate the follow-up actions/lessons-learned stemming from previous crises.

• EACCC members shall provide feedback concerning these actions to NM keeping NM always in the loop.

• NM and EACCC will conduct exercises to maintain the high level of preparedness for possible crisis events.

LESSONS LEARNED

WHAT? - ATM interface has to be included in Crisis Management

WHEN? - Each different crisis period has to be addressed Crisis Preparation Military Operations / Network DisruptionReturn to normal operations

HOW? - An ATM coordination cell has to be established for:

Coordination with NM Civ-mil Coordination at both local and regional levels

Whatever the operation, It is important to have an initial contact point with the coalition « Ops leader » to enforce the necessary ATM Coordination.

WAY AHEAD

“ATM crisis management handbook”

Notification / Contact with NM (Inputs for Civ-Mil coord. rules in NM procedures)ATM Impact assessment – Level of disruptionPoint of Contact (HQ/JFACC / NM / States / ATCs …)Mitigation measures elaborated and coordinatedImplementation –adaptation – coordination at tactical level (ATC / CAOC)Transition to normal situation– Measures lifted / support to normal operations

Procedures harmonization should facilitate this coordination (FPL, EUROAT…)
