PREP and Safety Professionals

• COOP
• Critical Infrastructure Protection and
  Maintenance
• All Plans Assign Responsibilities To Individuals
• Carefully assess how your company functions, both
  internally and externally, to determine which
  staff, materials, procedures and equipment are
  absolutely necessary to keep the business
  operating.

People Make Our Plans Work

• Will You and Essential Staff Be Available?
  Always?
• Is The Line Of Succession Deep Enough To Sustain
  a Community Wide Event?
• What Will Be First? Family? Home? Work?
• Are You Sure?
• A Good COOP Plan Must Include Individual
  Preparedness. Does Your Plan?

  firefighters lost their homes.

HOW?

• Goal 1
• Individual preparedness
• In a true emergency, first responders will attend
  to those most critically ill or injured.
• Those who survive the initial disaster with minor
  injuries will have few outside resources for
  assistance.
