The purpose of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) planning is to help ensure the continued performance of essential services during a wide range of potential emergencies by understanding and prioritizing services provided by all areas of your organization. Preparation for major disasters is important, but also important are the less severe emergencies that might occur more frequently. These relatively minor events can wreak havoc on an organization's ability to continue operations. FEMA provides Directives, templates and guidance for the purpose of continuity planning and emergency preparedness.
