COOP Planning Project
Apply by October 21st
|
|
The purpose of developing a COOP Plan is to establish procedures and guidance to ensure that essential functions for the library are continued in the event that man-made, natural, or technological emergencies disrupt normal operations. The COOP enables the library to operate with a significantly reduced workforce, diminished availability of resources, and to operate from an alternative work site should the primary facility become unusable.
A wide range of interruptions and disasters can be addressed in the COOP. This includes major disasters, localized acts of nature, accidents, technological emergencies, fires, power loss, mold and pest infestation, attack-related emergencies, hackers, active shooter, and more.
A completed application form is due by 5:00pm on Friday, October 21, 2022.
