The Continuity of Operations (COOP) Planner’s Workshop is to provide COOP training for Continuity Planners at the Federal, State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal levels of government. Federal Continuity Directive (FCD) 1 directs the Federal executive branch departments and agencies and offers guidance for non-federal governments for developing COOP Plans and Programs. COOP Plans facilitate the performance of essential functions during any situation which may disrupt normal operations.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to do the following:
• Correctly recognize the background and policy regarding continuity that affects development of continuity plans for reference in plan development.
• Develop a strategy to create a continuity plan using available requirements, guidance and tools.
• Recognize and incorporate the key elements of a viable continuity capability into an outline for their continuity plan.
• Explain the four phases of continuity and relate their application to the continuity planning process in your organization.
