DAYTONA BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HOSTS SUCCESSFUL TRIENNIAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE EXERCISE On Thursday, March 13, Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) successfully conducted its full-scale emergency response exercise, part of the FAA’s triennial requirement. The drill tested the airport’s ability to respond to a disaster, bringing together over 200 participants from more than 25 local, state and federal agencies. The exercise simulated a large-scale aircraft incident, with volunteers from the University of Central Florida Nursing Program and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University acting as “victims.” This realistic scenario allowed responders to practice coordinated actions in a high-pressure environment. The City of Daytona Beach’s Emergency Management team worked alongside airport staff and County Emergency Management inside the Operations Center to coordinate efforts. Daytona Beach Fire Department personnel and city communication coordinators participated in the exercise. The training provided valuable insights into improving our community’s emergency preparedness and reinforced Daytona Beach International Airport’s readiness for future emergencies.
