Contingency Plans

Does your business or organization have a Continuation of Operating Procedures Plan (COOP)? Unfortunately, if your business becomes disrupted due to the coronoavirus, or other emergencies, it can cost you money. Reduced profits can result from loss of revenues and extra expenses. A COOP is essential to your business. Here are some resources to develop a COOP for your business or organization.

For contingency plan guidelines please visit the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the following brochure.
