FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, Division of Emergency Management

This training session is designed to increase awareness and understanding of the necessity for the development and implementation of Continuity of Operations (COOP) planning for State and local government organizations.
COOP planning is good business practice, whether it’s a Category 5 hurricane, heavy tropical rainfall event, or some other natural or technological event, government facilities may be closed for an extended period of time. A viable COOP plan establishes policy and guidance to ensure the execution of an organization’s mission essential functions in any event which requires the relocation of selected personnel and functions to an alternate facility.
This session will focus on the background of COOP planning at the Federal level, provide the essential elements of a viable COOP plan, present plan development techniques and best practices at the State and local levels, and provide an overview of the concept of operations for Continuity of Government (COG) planning. The session will provide the attendee with an understanding of the basics of successful COOP planning and the elements necessary to establish a viable program capability.
