How often should my department train and exercise the Department COOP Plan?

Trainings and exercises serve to assess, validate, or identify for subsequent correction, all components of continuity plans, policies, procedures, systems, and facilities used in response to a continuity event. Periodic testing also ensures that equipment and procedures are kept in a constant state of readiness. Guidance and training sessions will be offered to departments through the UCF DEM. Online training opportunities will be posted on the Continuity of Operations Microsoft Teams Portal and in-person trainings are available upon request. If you want assistance with training or exercising your COOP Plan, contact the Department of Emergency Management
