CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS PLAN TEMPLATE - Sedgwick County

Storage sheds should be padlocked.Structural Assessment: A building diagram should be kept of off site as a vital record. An emergency generator and an alternate generation unit should be availablewhich supports the power supply of the facility. There are back-ups for utilities (gas, water, sewer, etc…). There are procedures to locate and control the HVAC unit. Personnel know where there is a structurally sound and well ventilated area in thefacility away from glass and heavy loose objects. It is known which equipment operates on the back-up power system and whichbecome inoperable when the power is down. Rooms are left open if you do not have keys.Miscellaneous: If possible, have security guards control each public access. If possible, have security guards roam the facility, or have a security guard visiblymonitoring the grounds via Closed Circuit TV. Closed Circuit TV systems, access control, and burglar alarms all reduce afacility’s vulnerability. Make them visible. Mail and packages are screened before being delivered Post signs that clearly state to all visitors and vendors that their actions are beingmonitored. Employees should wear their identification in a plainly visible manner. Visitors should wear “visitor” badges and be checked in by security personnel. Visitors are required to sign in. Identification badges are routinely checked. Surge protectors are used, or the building electrical system protected againstsurge. Finally, go back to the drawing board and sit down to figure out how and what can be done tominimize or even eliminate these security vulnerabilities. Ensure the Vulnerability AnalysisWorksheet reflects your security analysis and define those issues that need to be resolved inthe Mitigation/Prevention Spreadsheet.42
