Runway incursions are a major safety issue involving unintended presence on runways. They can occur at any airport and in any weather conditions. Contributing factors include low visibility, complex airport layouts, ATC communication issues, and flight crew lack of situational awareness. Best practices for pilots include thorough preparation and briefing of taxi routes, strict communication procedures, knowledge of airport signs and markings, and techniques like writing down clearances and monitoring progress.
Assignment on cargo compartment classification Natasha Nabila
The document describes the classification of cargo compartments on aircraft - Class A, B, C, D, and E.
Class A compartments allow for easy discovery of fires from crew stations and have parts that are easily accessible during flight. Class B compartments allow crew to reach any part with a handheld extinguisher without smoke or flames entering occupied areas. Class C compartments do not meet A or B criteria but have detection systems, built-in extinguishing, and means to control smoke/flames.
Class D compartments confine any fire without danger to the aircraft or occupants, and control smoke and ventilation. The compartment volume cannot exceed 28.32 cubic meters. Class E compartments are

This document provides a chart summarizing dangerous goods classes and their associated hazards and immediate actions. It lists 10 classes of dangerous goods including explosives, gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, toxins, radioactive materials and corrosives. For each class, it describes the hazard such as fire, explosion or toxicity risks. It also provides immediate action steps to minimize leakage, contact with other cargo, notify authorities and take other protective measures depending on the material.
To safely perform their jobs, airport firefighters should be well-trained in using personal protective equipment. They should also be familiar with firefighter safety practices at emergency scenes, during responses, and at fire stations. ARFF personnel need knowledge of general aircraft hazards as well as specific dangers posed by different types of aircraft, military aircraft, cargo, and potential terrorist incidents. Proper identification and mitigation of hazards is important for their protection.
This document discusses aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) apparatus. It describes the different types of ARFF vehicles and their required features based on regulatory standards. Proper maintenance and regular inspections are important to ensure all apparatus are always operational. ARFF departments must consider applicable regulations when determining vehicle needs and develop procedures for effective operation.
The Tenerife airport disaster occurred on March 27, 1977 when a KLM Boeing 747 collided with a Pan Am Boeing 747 on a foggy runway at Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife, Spain, killing 583 people. Two planes had been diverted to the small airport from Gran Canaria Airport due to a terrorist attack. Poor communication in Spanish between air traffic control and the pilots, as well as the KLM pilot's mistaken belief that he had clearance for takeoff, contributed to the accident. It remains the deadliest accident in aviation history.
Chapter 04 Safety and Aircraft Hazards Training1PFD

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
UN WOD 2024 will take us on a journey of discovery through the ocean's vastness, tapping into the wisdom and expertise of global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains. The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

14. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
Although the High-Rise Procedure was declared, it was not completely followed.
E13 established their own water supply using DE13 and FF13. This deviation
from the High-Rise Procedure and was done because of preplanning and
training by E13. Due to the building’s proximity to Station 13, it was
determined that E13 could establish a water supply, connect to standpipe, recon,
and establish a Fire Attack Group before the arrival of the next company.
14
15. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
Although the High-Rise Procedure was declared, it was not completely followed. (continued)
E13, E4, and T4 were Fire Attack One. E13 declared the south stairwell as the Attack stairwell
and ascended prior to all of the Fire Attack One crews joining together. This led to E4 and T4
ascending the north (Evacuation) stairwell rather than the Attack stairwell.
This is not normal operating procedure during high-rise operations and should be avoided
because it delays the establishment of recon, fire attack, and rescue.
If the first due company identifies a situation that requires deviation from our policies, the
first arriving officer must clearly communicate their actions to the other responding crews.
15
16. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
Following TacOp 300.09 High-Rise Fires III H 1 b iii, E13 declared the
south stairwell as the Attack stairwell and the north stairwell as the
Evacuation stairwell.
Companies assigned to Fire Attack One (E4 and T4) accessed the
fire floor via the north stairwell.
The north stairwell was easier to locate.
Companies who were unfamiliar with the building had a hard
time locating the south stairwell access.
16
17. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
With the exception of the two person Recon Team, Fire Attack One
companies should congregate in the lobby and ascend to the fire
floor together to ensure continuity for hose lines and personnel.
Prior to the establishment of Lobby Control, consider leaving one
person in the lobby to direct companies to the attack staircase.
17
18. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
Command declared shelter-in-place procedures for the 8th floor
and below. Dispatch, however, initiated an emergency
evacuation call to the residents in the building advising them to
evacuate the structure. This led to confusion for both residents
and fire fighters.
18
19. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
The Incident Commander assigned multiple radio “Incident Sets” without
requesting them from dispatch as required by TacOp Communication Procedures
100.01 II B 5 a.
While an incident of this magnitude will require multiple Incident Sets, the
Incident Commander should always request them from Dispatch prior to
assigning companies, groups, or divisions to communicate on them.
The Incident Commander will also require an individual at the Command
Post to monitor each channel to ensure critical information is relayed to and
from the Incident Commander effectively. MCOM was dispatched on the
second alarm and responded with entire crew from Station 22. They arrived
at 1216 hrs. and were released at 1318 hrs.
19
20. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
Companies assigned to run the Rehab Unit did not have enough bottled water to
meet the needs of both fire fighters and civilians.
Every apparatus carries bottled water and Clif-type bars which can and should
be utilized if needed by those assigned to run Rehab.
On warmer days, Squads should carry an extra case of water.
Additional resources can be ordered through Command or their designee.
Command requested a second alarm from dispatch.
Per TacOp 300.09 II B 2 d, a second alarm is automatically dispatched when
the fire is declared a “Working High-Rise Fire”.
20
21. Training Division and AAR Committee
After Action Review
Lessons Learned
Three civilians were rescued via aerial ladder from the fire floor.
While the rescues were successful, removing civilians (especially
elderly civilians) via aerial ladder should be a last resort.
Fire fighters should first consider sheltering-in-place to include
shutting doors and windows and evacuating residents to exterior
balconies prior to using aerial ladders to remove them.
