On Fire

Emergency planning and preparedness involve systematically getting ready for future events like major incidents or disasters. It requires creating plans to respond to the impacts of these events and ensuring business continuity during crises.
 

Disaster Preparedness

The COE Emergency Recovery Guide seeks to inform county offices of education (COEs) as they help school districts prepare for recovery after a large-scale multiagency, multijurisdictional emergency. This guide is not an emergency response manual; rather, it is a guide for COE leaders to foster districts’ preparation before and recovery after a catastrophic event.

These resources are designed to help K-12 technology departments create and implement a working Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) (new!), a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), and a Business Continuity Plan (BCP).

​

To get started, establish a secure cloud storage solution, such as a Google Shared Drive, Microsoft Team, Private Teams Channel, or Microsoft SharePoint Site, that belongs to your organization (not an individual user), then grant the appropriate access to the members of your disaster recovery team.

 

Next, copy each of the  documents into the shared resource, then begin working with your team to customize each template. Finally, keep your CIRP, DRP, and BCP up-to-date so they are ready when a disaster strikes. Be sure to keep a printed copy of each plan.
