Earlier chapters explained the importance of risk management for airports. Every airport has
multiple hazards to control. Some hazards are specific to certain airport activities and functions,
while others are common to two or more activities. Many activities will involve different phases.
For example, a construction project always includes planning and design phases, a preparation
phase, and the construction or execution phase. Another example is a special event like the Super
Bowl, or a popular college game in a small town. Again, the airport must plan for the changes in
operations the event will bring, prepare the airport before the event, and then carry out the plan
to help the event go off smoothly.
