Interagency Continuity of Operations Workgroup
Purpose:
We are a group of state agency professionals who collaborate to ensure ongoing delivery of vital services and essential functions during any emergency; to ensure availability of people, facilities, equipment, materials, technology, and records to support those vital services and essential functions; and to fully restore all services and functions after the emergency ends. In order to enhance our collective efforts we strive to have continuity of operations, information technology, facilities management, and other functional representatives from all major state agencies participate in the workgroup.
Mission:
Our mission is to help agencies develop effective COOP plans by sharing professional experience, best practices, training and ideas in order to assist each other with the implementation of best practices and strategies to further protect the critical assets, business processes, and services that our agencies provide to the citizens of Washington State.
