Introduction This plan documents CODAC’s process, recovery tasks, strategies, personnel, and other resources that may be utilized by Executive and other leadership, independently or in conjunction with other continuity plans, to address any short- or long-term business interruption. Examples include, but are not limited to, interruption due to planned or unplanned events, actions, situations, disaster, or other emergencies. As part of CODAC’s annual risk management assessment, this plan will be reviewed/updated at least annually. CODAC will review business continuity and disaster plan procedures and analysis. Purpose of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) The BCP establishes procedures to recover business operations following a disruption. The plan supports the following objectives: Maximize Operational Effectiveness Post-Disruption:  Notification/activation phase : Detect and assess damage and activate the plan.  Recovery phase : Restore operations and reassign department personnel as needed.  Reconstitution phase : Restore capabilities to normal operations. Identify Essential Activities and Resources: Outline the activities, resources, and procedures required to maintain operations during short-term or prolonged interruptions. Assign Responsibilities and Provide Guidance: Designate personnel responsibilities and provide guidance for recovering individual department operations during interruptions. Coordinate with External Entities: Ensure coordination with state and local entities such as county health and human services, law enforcement, and vendors following an event. Ensure Compliance with Health Directives: Adjust emergency plans in accordance with directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
