Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) is the term favored by government entities for mitigation and planning strategies that create resilience to a department's operations and allow services to continue to be provided in the face of a range of challenges.

In the coming weeks, members of your organization will start the process of developing a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) for your departments. As you begin to gather operational information specific to your department, a Light Table Top Exercise has been scheduled to get a baseline of how your department would perform during an emergency event happening within Nye County.
What to Bring
Please bring a notepad and pen to take notes during the exercise.
What is a Light Table Top Exercise?
● Creating interactive and informal discussions using a scripted disaster scenario
as a catalyst.
● No time pressure! No fault environment for an open exchange of ideas.
● Familiarizes participants with roles, responsibilities, functions, plans and procedures.
● Prompts each other to identify issues requiring further work to be done.
● Learn what other departments, agencies and jurisdictions will need from you.
