... Planning Processes 19 Sources of Funding AIP Funding Sources of funding for an airport EOC include the FAA AIP, which compares and competes for discretionary dollars based on need and safety impacts, in addition to entitlement funds, which are based on enplanements. These funds can be used for site preparation and infrastructure, as well as building construction.

... Planning Processes 25 Checklist: Update Current EOC Following are steps that can be considered if the airport has a facility it is currently using as an EOC, and only wishes to make updates and improvements to that facility. ConOps or a Master Plan has been completed: Space requirements have been determined IT infrastructure needs have been accounted for (current and future)

... 26 Design Considerations for Airport EOCs Checklist: New EOC Utilizing Existing Space Following are steps that can be considered if the airport wants to move to a different facility on or off the airport campus. ConOps or a Master Plan has been completed: Space requirements have been determined IT infrastructure needs have been accounted for (current and future)
From page 27...
... Planning Processes 27 • If it is an airport-only EOC, the airport should determine the needs of all internal and external stakeholders who will operate at the center during emergencies such as the FAA, airlines, or FBI. • Next, the airport would determine total number of staffing needs for internal and external stakeholders while considering anticipated growth, floor plan needs and size, workstations, equipment, and IT.

... 28 Design Considerations for Airport EOCs Checklist: Build a New Greenfield Space Following are steps that can be considered if the airport wants to construct a greenfield EOC. ConOps or a Master Plan has been completed: Space requirements have been determined IT infrastructure needs have been accounted for (current and future)
