Today, we face new kinds of threats, and we still have the same old threats and dangers we have
always had in transit and transportation agencies. Threats don’t have to be from man-made causes.

What continuity planning is not…
It is NOT just based on terrorist threats
It is NOT busy work that won’t pay off
It is NOT just a process that gives you a plan for your shelf
What continuity planning is…
Prioritizing essential functions
Defining resource needs
Defining personnel needs
Defining communications needs
Testing, exercising, updating

Plan implementation
• The damage from an event could be repaired in a short time, e.g., matter of days or weeks, or it could be so extensive that it will take months or years to return to normal operations at the facility.
• A COOP plan can be activated in part or in whole depending upon the disruption or threat.
![Page 19: 1 Continuity Planning for transportation agencies](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110206/56649ce65503460f949b4a13/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Plan Implementation
• An event may demand that personnel evacuate a single facility for a day or two. In that case, execution of only the “Communications” component and IT recovery of data and systems may be necessary.
• On the other hand, an agency’s headquarters could be destroyed by fire or other calamity, which necessitates full COOP plan implementation.
![Page 20: 1 Continuity Planning for transportation agencies](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110206/56649ce65503460f949b4a13/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Plan Implementation
• An effective COOP plan will outline an executive decision process for the quick and accurate assessment of the situation and a determination of the best course of action for response and recovery.
• A decision matrix or flow chart that ties the agency’s reaction to the class or level of emergency is a good tool to utilize.
![Page 21: 1 Continuity Planning for transportation agencies](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110206/56649ce65503460f949b4a13/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Plan Implementation
• Having the plan is only part of the solution.
• Each agency must develop a strategy for implementing it.
• Teams should be identified to carry out specific work.
• Checklists should be developed to remind team leaders and members of roles and responsibilities, and provide them with the basic information needed to carry them out.
![Page 22: 1 Continuity Planning for transportation agencies](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110206/56649ce65503460f949b4a13/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Resumption Plan Requirements
• Leadership needs to provide general guidance and policy on ending alternate operations and returning to non-emergency status.
• Resumption procedures establish the specific actions that will be taken to ensure a timely and efficient transfer of communications, direction and control and vital records and databases to normal operations.
