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 county/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 within Pershing County.
WHAT IS A TTX?
A table top exercise (often referred to as TTX) is a training tool that simulates emergency situations in an
informal environment and are an integral part of proper emergency preparedness. Our facilitator, Galena Property Services, will guide the exercise participants through a dangerous scenario from the safety of a conference room to practice some response strategies.
These opportunities allow your department team members to get familiar with their responsibilities and with the procedures and processes that may save their lives and the lives of others.
The TTX is a low risk and low stress way to ensure that your response plans are complete and effective and your team knows exactly how to execute them.
Who Should Attend
Employees responsible for continuity of operations planning.
