Connections Hurricane Edition

Hurricane season in Florida starts June 1st and runs through November

30th. NOAA has predicted, 9 to 15 named storms of those storms for the

2019 season, 4 to 8 of them could become hurricanes. An average

hurricane season produces 6 hurricanes and 3 of those are major

hurricanes. Hurricane Barry, the second named storm of the season that

has already hit the United States, serves as a good reminder to prepare

now. Most everyone has a plan in place and makes preparations for their

homes, but, many do not be think of their aircraft until it is too late. This

newsletter contains information on what you can do to prepare, and what

you can expect from airport and FBO staff before, during and after a

storm. Plan and prepare now.

Are You Prepared?

Tenant Hurricane Preparations Hurricane season has arrived. By now your hurricane plans should be in place. It is important to take the time to make

sure you know what those plans are and how to implement them.

Please remember:

We highly recommended that all tenants have aircraft evacuation plans in place. Plan to leave APF at least

3 days prior to the anticipated onset of tropical-force winds.

Contact two alternate airports now and make arrangements for apron/hangar space in the event that it is

necessary—if you wait until a storm gets close, you will be competing with other evacuees for space.

It is recommended that all aircraft are removed from the airport. We can not guarantee that your aircraft

will not receive storm damage. Do not count on your hangar to provide protection in the event of a

hurricane or tropical storm. APF hangars are NOT wind-rated.

If you have a tie-down or ramp spot, we can not guarantee that your aircraft will be moved into a hangar.

Plan on flying your aircraft out to another airport that will not be impacted by the anticipated storm.

Fuel rationing prior to a storm should be anticipated because the airport is used for emergency response

aircraft. Plan early for fuel as it may not be available when a storm is approaching.

During emergencies please monitor Everbridge communications and www.flynaples.com for status

updates.

Tenants will NOT be given access to their aircraft or hangars once they are secured in anticipation of a

storm.

After a storm, power may be out and telephone service maybe limited.

Avoid coming to the airport before receiving communications from APF that it is opened.

AOPA suggests to having a “evacuation” pilot who could assist in relocating your aircraft if you are

unable to do so. For more information visit https://www.aopa.org/-/media/files/aopa/home/news/all-

FPL As hurricane season approaches, it may be a good idea to put FPL contact information in to your

phone. They now have several ways to contact them and follow any power outage updates.

To report or track an outage: Call 1-800-4-OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243) or visit www.FPL.com/outage.

Emergency Communications

During hurricane season, Everbridge will allow us to quickly disseminate important information to our

tenants regarding any storm impacts to operations and/or airport closures using contact information that

was provided on airport badge applications. If your phone number(s) and/or email address has changed

in the past two (2) years, please email updated information to Jennifer Monville, Properties Coordinator, at

(239) 643-0733 or leasing@flynaples.com. Please remember, prior to an anticipated storm impact, new

enrollment can not be guaranteed. Should you wish to unsubscribe, please email naa@flynaples.com.

Naples Airport Storm Readiness Plan

Naples Airport has plans in place for anticipated hurricanes and tropical storms.

An Airport inventory inspection time permitting, including hangar inspections, begins in early summer

and is completed again prior to a storm.

Once the airport has been notified of an anticipated storm, the staff begins clearing the ramp of any and

all objects that can become airborne and dangerous during a storm.

Staff clears the ramp of as many remaining aircraft as possible. In doing so, APF reserves the right to use

any available hangar space, including leased hangars that may be empty. There will not be time to notify

individual tenants of these arrangements. Airport staff does everything possible to move aircraft out of

harm’s way, however if your aircraft remains at APF, the airport can not guarantee that it will not be dam-

aged by a storm.

Tenants can receive communications via the Everbridge Emergency Notification System. The airport will

distribute storm updates leading up to the storm and after the storm as quickly as possible

The airport will begin to ration fuel approximately 3 days prior to anticipated storm landfall. The airport

stops fueling all aircraft 2 days before the anticipated storm.

Naples Airport will close approximately 2 days prior to an anticipated storm to allow employees time to

prepare their homes and ensure their families’ safety. No access will be granted after closure.

Once the airport is closed, airport staff will begin to secure the hangars doors as time permits.

APF will resume operations post-storm as quickly as possible, but it will remain closed until it is deemed

safe.

Prior to opening the airport, all areas of the airport will be inspected.

Once the airport is open, communications will be distributed via all available methods, including Ever-

bridge. During times of emergency, airport and FBO staff may not be able to answer all calls and emails

as quickly as we would like. Please use one of the available communication methods to receive the most

timely information about the status of the airport. Individual tenants will be contacted as soon as possi-

ble as information becomes available.
