Hi,

As far as I know all airports where t/o with less than 400 m are allowed have LVP procedures (at least in europe)

These procedures are available in control towers SOP.

They may consist in (for example) :
- all gates closed and locked (to avoid farmer's tractor lost on twy/rwy ...)
- Rwy/twy/panels lights on
- Auxiliary electricity generating unit in service. And not only serviceable. That's mean that generating unit reallly powered all electric loads needed for oprational purpose.
- Airport emergency services available
- ...

Pilots are advised that all conditions are met by “LOW VISIBILITY PROCEDURES IN FORCE RUNWAY (RR)’’.

Bests Regards.
