CANCELLED - Continuity of Operations Planning Workshop

Developing a Continuity of Operations Plan

Date(s) & Time(s) April 30, 2020   ~  9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Workshop Description The New Jersey Department of Education Office of School Preparedness and Emergency Planning (OSPEP) in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) invites school leaders to participate in an All-Hazards Continuity of Operations Planning workshop. The workshop will provide districts and schools an overview in the planning, development, and implementation of a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). A COOP is a required component of a School Safety and Security Plan (SSSP). It is activated when a school's facilities become inoperable for any reason.

The workshop will be presented by professionals in continuity planning from FEMA. These specialists have developed COOP plans that have effectively helped schools prepare for natural or man-made events.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
* Relate the planning steps to each phase of continuity of operations.
* Identify key stakeholders who should be included in the continuity planning process.
* Assess their current district/ school plan.
* Identify areas requiring more detail in current continuity plans and develop strategies for resolving them.
* Analyze the risks and vulnerabilities related to primary facilities and the selection of alternate facilities.
* Revise or develop their organization's continuity plans.
* Develop a strategy for testing, training, and exercising their continuity plans.

School Safety Specialist will receive training hours for instruction received through this workshop.
