Why This Measure Matters​

Having up-to-date Continuity of Operations (COOP) plans—and tracking their status—is critical for county departments and offices to ensure resilience and uninterrupted public service. Key reasons include:

• Ensure Mission-Essential Functions

• Minimize Downtime and Economic Loss

• Maintain Public Trust and Confidence

• Comply with Legal and Funding Requirements

• Coordinate Across Jurisdictions and Partners

• Allocate Resources and Prioritize Investments

• Drive Regular Training and Exercises

• Support Risk Management and Insurance
