The Virgin Islands Port Authority will be conducting a full-scale exercise Dec. 17, 2024, at the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in St. Croix. This mandatory exercise aims to evaluate Port Authority and supporting agencies’ response time to emergencies at the airport. Airport operations will not be impacted by these exercises.
The Federal Aviation Administration mandates that these drills occur every 36 consecutive months, as outlined in its 14 CFR Part 139 requirements for airports to conduct a mock Mass Casualty Incident (MCI)/Full-Scale Exercise (FSE) to assess emergency responses.
