Airport Preparedness Measures

Implementing Partner: Build Change

Project Name: Airport Preparedness Measures

CDRI enhances the Global Study on Disaster Resilience of Airports by developing airport preparedness guidance across the project lifecycle, covering planning, design, and maintenance.

Key interventions include technical, policy, and planning strategies, along with risk assessments and disaster resilience integration into procurement.

This lifecycle-based approach ensures effective adoption of resilience measures by governments, airport authorities, and investors, enabling informed decisions that strengthen infrastructure against future risks at both policy and operational levels.

Impact

1

Integrating disaster resilience into planning, design, and maintenance improves infrastructure durability. Technical interventions and risk assessments enable proactive measures, ensuring airports remain operational and minimize disruptions during emergencies and extreme weather events.

2

Guiding governments and airport authorities on resilience-focused procurement and policy decisions fosters long-term safety. Informed strategies ensure investments align with robust infrastructure standards, reducing vulnerabilities in airport operations and future expansions.

3

A lifecycle-based approach equips investors, policymakers, and airport authorities with practical guidance. This enables strategic decision-making, ensuring sustainable infrastructure development while promoting efficiency in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
