What Are We Planning For?
![Page 4: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Key Resource: FEMA– Tools– Sample Plans– Self-paced Trainings

The Formal Plan
• Essential Functions– What must be done to sustain continued
operations– Focus on essential– Must know the primary purpose(s) of your
entity
![Page 6: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Delegations of Authority– Who can act on behalf of an agency– Who has authority to do what
![Page 7: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Succession Planning– Who is in charge– Who is in charge after that– Who is in charge next– And after that…
![Page 8: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Alternate Facilities– Where will you perform the essential functions– What other options are available
![Page 9: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Interoperable Communications– How will people communicate– How will you access data/systems
(This is where IT is often brought in.)
![Page 10: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Devolution– “Fail over” to another entity
• Reconstitution– Returning to normal operations
![Page 11: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Controlling the Scope
• COOP is just a project plan• Scope is half the battle• Know which disasters/events• Define the extent of disaster/events• Scope controls effort/cost
![Page 12: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Technology Trap
• Finding the right tool to solve the problem
Vs.
• Finding the right process to solve the problem
• Then finding the right technology to serve the process
![Page 13: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Knowledge Continuity
• How is the “event” of retirements like more traditional COOP?
• Should it be integrated with disaster/pandemic planning?
![Page 14: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The IT Role in COOP
• Spotting risks• Active communication with or participation
in leadership team• Identify and lead collaborations• Identifying and implementing technical
solutions
• Focus on information – we are stewards of information
![Page 15: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Formal Plan
• Is it needed?• How many plans?• Who develops it?• Who is involved in planning and decision-
making?
• What do you do if no formal plan is needed?

Collaborations/Partnerships
Examples
![Page 17: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Collaborations/Partnerships
• Recommended practices– Establish why all parties want to partner– Somebody needs to take lead– Get it all in writing
![Page 18: Continuity of Operations: People, Collaboration and Creativity](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813310550346895d99ce81/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Collaborations/Partnerships
• Models to Consider– Joint contract with external vendor– One unit acting as "vendor" partner– Multiple units providing technical
support
