  • Ensure COOP plans remain aligned with FPS mission changes, operational requirements, and current threat conditions by conducting periodic reviews and incorporating lessons learned from incidents, exercises, and leadership direction.
  • Identify continuity vulnerabilities and assess potential operational impacts to FPS critical functions, producing actionable mitigation strategies and recommended courses of action to strengthen organizational resilience.
  • Conduct Business Impact Analyses (BIA) to identify critical functions, dependencies, maximum tolerable downtimes, and recovery priorities; translate findings into continuity and recovery strategies.

  • Manage stakeholder engagement across internal FPS elements and external partners to ensure COOP buy-in, clarity of roles/responsibilities, and coordinated execution during activation.
  • Collaborate with IT personnel and operational stakeholders to plan for relocation, restoration, and sustainment of critical IT capabilities and operational communications during COOP events and relocations.
  • Maintain continuity readiness for COOP deployment by supporting office equipment care, inventories, end-user maintenance, and readiness documentation required for rapid relocation and sustained operations.
  • Review and analyze situation reports, resource tracking, and deployment/relocation rosters to inform leadership awareness of continuity posture, readiness gaps, and recovery progress.
  • Produce continuity-related briefings, executive-ready summaries, and supporting documentation suitable for senior leader decision-making, ensuring clear articulation of impacts, priorities, and restoration status.
