Delete these instructions before publishing final plan.)\nThis document contains sensitive and confidential information that is not subject to FOIA under Code of Virginia §2.2-3705.2.\nThis page is intentionally blank.\nTemplate Structure and Instructions\nIn each section of the template, there are instructions, sample verbiage, and references to worksheets that might be helpful in gathering data necessary to develop the Continuity Plan.\nInstructions are in blue italics to distinguish them from other parts of the template. These instructions should not appear in the final plan.\nSample verbiage or language is provided to assist in developing the plan. The sample language provided in the template should be replaced, expanded upon, or modified as necessary to fit the needs of the department using the template. This includes tables, charts, checklists or other tools within the template. However, all sections and elements outlined in the template should be included in the department’s Continuity Plan unless otherwise indicated.\nHeaders and/or footers should be used to number pages. Appendices should be numbered in a manner to reflect the appendix number.\nAn optional worksheet was created to help document manual workaround procedures. Use of the worksheet is not a template requirement, but can be included in the plan as an appendix.\nDon’t forget to change (insert name of department) throughout the template to your department name. When changing blue italicized text to final plan content, change the font to black, sentence case, sized appropriately with the rest of the section’s text (this will help save time with final formatting). Also please remove this template instruction page before plan submission.\nFinally, add acronyms and definitions into the glossary that reflect the relevant terms used by your department.\nIf you have any questions, please contact the ODU Office of Emergency Management at (757) 683-5116 or email \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:j1reed@odu.edu\" \u0014j1reed@odu.edu\u0015. \u000f\nSecurity and Privacy Statement\nPublic disclosure of this document would have a reasonable likelihood of threatening public safety by exposing vulnerabilities.
