Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

The Purpose of a COOP PlanThe Purpose of a COOP Plan The COOP plan is a roadmap for implementing

and managing the COOP program. Of all COOP-related documents, the COOP plan

is most important.

COOP plans are living documents, requiring regular review and revision.

Page 3: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

The Purpose of COOP Planning 1. To ensure the continued operation of

departments and agencies and their essential functions.

2. To ensure the rapid response to any emergency situation requiring COOP plan implementation.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 1: Initiate the COOP Planning Process

Appoint the COOP Program Manager. Select the planning team. Identify resources required. Establish objectives and milestones. Determine procedures for information gathering

and decisionmaking.

Page 6: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 1: Initiate the COOP Planning Process

Selecting the Planning Team

Include members from each functional area, and: Information Technology. Human Resources. Accounting/Finance. The Office of General Counsel.

Page 7: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 1: Initiate the COOP Planning Process

Identifying planning resources: Photocopying Supplies Mileage (or fleet vehicle costs) for travel to

potential alternate facilities Training rooms, materials, supplies, equipment,

and instructors Meeting rooms Other program needs

Page 8: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 1: Initiate the COOP Planning Process

Establish Objectives and Milestones

Objectives should be measurable so that you: Know when the objective has been met. Know whether the objective is acceptable in

terms of quality, timeliness, and other established criteria.

Page 9: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 1: Initiate the COOP Planning Process

Establish procedures for information gathering and decisionmaking: Focus on gathering needed information. Minimize time and effort spent gathering

information. Minimize disagreement by establishing

procedures for decisionmaking.

Page 10: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 2: Conduct a Risk AnalysisRisk analysis helps to: Narrow the range of incidents requiring

planning. Prioritize according to risk. Plan for the highest-risk hazards first.

Page 11: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 2: Conduct a Risk AnalysisSources of Information: The local hazard analysis Historical information Directive

Page 12: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 2: Conduct a Risk AnalysisDetermine vulnerability to identify risks that are: Inherent to the agency’s location. Inherent to the facility. Most critical for agency personnel.

Page 13: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 2: Conduct a Risk AnalysisSteps for conducting a vulnerability analysis:

1. Develop a hazard profile.

2. Check assumptions.

3. Develop an area profile.

4. Identify vulnerabilities.

Page 14: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 3: Conduct an Impact Analysis4 = Catastrophic. The agency could not function

from its facility. The COOP plan would definitely be implemented.

3 = Major. Agency operations would be disrupted for more than 12 hours. The COOP plan would definitely be implemented.

2 = Moderate. Some functions may be interrupted but the agency could be operational within 12 hours. The COOP plan might be implemented.

1 = Minor: Agency operations could continue with little or no interruption.

Page 15: Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures Unit Introduction and Overview Unit objectives:  The purpose of a COOP plan.  How to develop an outline.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 4: Determine Essential FunctionsUse a system: Identify all agency functions. Identify essential functions. Prioritize the functions. Identify critical support resources.

Unit 12: Developing COOP Plans and Procedures

Step 6: Test, Train, and Exercise the Plan Tests confirm whether or not procedures,

processes, and systems function as intended. Training ensures that all personnel know what

to do, how to do it, and when. Exercises provide practice and verification of

whether parts of the plan—or the entire plan— work as intended.
