It should be removed prior to finalizing your COOP Plan.  \nThis COOP Plan Template is designed for use by local jurisdictions to prepare a comprehensive Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan based on the ten essential elements defined by Cal OES and FEMA. It is accompanied by a COOP Planning Handbook, which offers procedural and operational guidance for the preparation and implementation of a COOP Plan. These tools integrate Continuity of Government (COG) planning components.  \n\n| Do you have an existing COOP/COG plan? | If your jurisdiction has an existing COOP/COG plan that you seek to update, you may wish to reference the Handbook as necessary for instruction on completing any essential elements that may be lacking in the current plan. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Are you familiar with COOP/COG planning? | If you or your COOP Planning Team is experienced with COOP planning, you may wish to start directly with this Plan Template, completing it with specific information for your jurisdiction while referencing the Handbook as necessary. |\n| Are you NEW to COOP/COG planning? | If you or your jurisdiction are new to the concepts of COOP/COG planning, you may wish to start with the Handbook for detailed instruction on how to begin and complete the planning process. Working through the Handbook, using the worksheets and forms, will result in establishing the necessary content to complete a COOP Plan based on this template. |\n\nThe green font in this COOP Plan Template represents either instructional language providing guidance to the author, or a blank space for inserting tailored information customized for the jurisdiction. While the green font targets material that can or should be edited; any sections, phrases or words in this template can be revised as needed by the jurisdiction. Please note that the “find and replace” function in MS Word can assist in making global customizations such as inserting the name of your jurisdiction throughout the plan.  \nCOOP planning is a team effort. To develop a successful COOP Plan, you should organize a planning team that includes members from all levels of management and staff from the various divisions of the jurisdiction. Team members should act as coordinators for their respective functions, elements, or divisions. Additional instruction on developing a COOP planning team can be found in the Handbook.  \nThe COOP Planning Handbook provides detailed instruction for a five-phase COOP Planning process. It reflects guidelines provided by US Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as well as best practices developed by Cal OES Continuity Planning and others researched for the purpose of preparing this toolkit. The five COOP Planning phases are:  \n1. Initiate the COOP Planning Process  \n2. Determine Essential Business Functions  \n3. Design and Build the Plan  \n4. Training, Testing & Exercises  \n5. Maintain the Plan  \nFollowing the planning phases and completing the worksheets included in the COOP Planning Handbook will assist in assembling the information necessary to develop the ten essential elements of a COOP Plan. Because every organization has a different mission, your COOP Plan will be unique. Merely filling in blanks on the worksheets is not a substitute for a plan that allows for the continuance of the organization in the event of a disruption.  \nAdditional instructions in utilizing these tools to create your COOP Plan may be found on the Bay Area UASI website ([www.bayareauasi.org](www.bayareauasi.org)) .  \nFor a refresher or additional information on the con","cbCaimPiKJ7W0m0d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimPiKJ7W0m0d","pdf",911977,"English","# How to Use This Template\n## COOP/COG planning guidance\n## COOP planning team and process\n## Table of Contents","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this COOP plan template?\",\"answer\":\"It helps local jurisdictions prepare a comprehensive Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan based on ten essential elements defined by Cal OES and FEMA.\"},{\"question\":\"How should a jurisdiction use the template if it already has a COOP/COG plan?\",\"answer\":\"It can reference the COOP Planning Handbook to update any essential elements that may be missing, while completing this Plan Template with jurisdiction-specific information.\"},{\"question\":\"What five phases does the COOP Planning Handbook describe?\",\"answer\":\"The phases are: initiate the COOP planning process; determine essential business functions; design and build the plan; training, testing \\u0026 exercises; and maintain the plan.\"}]","Continuity of Operations Plan Template - How to Use This Template | PDF",1789189429]
