- COOP10 - Continuity of Operations Plan
A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) is designed to ensure your organization's essential services continue, assets are protected, and rapid recovery after an emergency event. The COOP process is a journey, not a destination. ADPH, in collaboration with the Alabama Emergency Management Agency and the The University of Alabama at Birmingham, has created resources to assist agencies in accomplishing this directive. This collaboration resulted in Alabama's COOP10 Plan.
The COOP10 Plan contains information and resources to assist in creating a pandemic influenza and all-hazard plan that will comply with Governor Bob Riley's COOP Directive signed on April 10, 2009. For the latest information, contact Rita Maynard. - Protocol for Dead Bird Reporting
