Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP)

Are you ready? What if your operations are shut down or disabled due to a disaster? How will you operate? How will your employees work? SDMI's team of experienced Emergency Managers will work with your agency, department, small business, or other organization on a comprehensive Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). COOP allows for individual agencies to ensure they can continue to perform their mission essential functions during a wide range of emergencies. These plans ensure that your government, department, business, and/or agency is able to continue essential daily functions. The SDMI Planning Team will work with you to make sure your COOP covers planning for any event - natural, human-caused, technological threats and national security emergency - that may cause your organization to relocate its operations to an alternate or other continuity site to assure continuance of essential functions. COOP is simply good business practice.

THIRA

SDMI's experienced homeland security team works with local, parish/county and state level organizations to develop robust and comprehensive THIRA's. The THIRA, or, Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment is a three-step risk assessment process that helps communities understand their risks and what they need to do to address those risks by answering the following questions:

• What threats and hazards can affect our community?
• If they occurred, what impacts would those threats and hazards have on our community?
• Based on those impacts, what capabilities should our community have?

The outputs from this planning process lay the foundation for determining a community’s capability gaps as part of the Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR). Our team works with a dedicated core planning team throughout the process to deliver a comprehensive and complete THIRA.
