What is Continuity of Operations Planning?
Emergencies like fire, flood and devastation
from natural causes like hurricanes and
tornadoes can happen - and have happened - here
in Howard County. The goal of the Continuity of
Operations Planning (COOP) initiative is to
ensure that local businesses have effective
plans in place to resume business operations
quickly in the event of a business interruption
from any emergency.
COOP is a bridge between the emergency event, or incident, and returning to normal business operations. While there is a varied amount of business-related emergency preparedness information available, COOP will provide a concise, highly-localized planning effort to Howard County businesses.
Thinking about various scenarios and planning for them can help your business get through these emergencies.
The following planning documents were introduced at the March 2008 membership meeting of the Howard County Chamber of Commerce:
