HURRICANE SANDY - AIRPORT UPDATE
FOR NOVEMBER 3
OPERATIONAL MEASURES:
Please continue to check the NOTAMS. Power to the airfield is restored. Aviation fuel has been delivered. At this time, the airfield is open to emergency service, other aircraft and helicopters, 24/7. Prior Permission Request Forms are no longer required. Some vehicle and pedestrian gates remain inoperative due to limited power. To gain access to your aircraft, please coordinate with your landlord.
FEMA has been on site since Sunday Oct 28. Republic was upgraded as the "primary distribution center" to support emergency services. We are using the main terminal ramp (which is closed) and FEMA has expanded their operations to various other locations on the airport.
Sincerely,
Shelley LaRose Arken
Airport Manager
