These sites include, but are not limited to, central business districts of major cities, major federal buildings, military installations, national memorials or monuments, major centers of public assembly (e.g., Rockefeller Center, Kennedy Center, Madison Square Garden), major stadiums, major amusement parks, nuclear power plants, facilities for hazardous materials, airport traffic hubs, and other sites that could be seen by terrorists as potential targets for causing disruption and chaos. (1) An alternate facility that will be used in a catastrophic event must be located at a minimum of 5 miles from all sites and locations identified as “most likely” to be prime targets of terrorist activity. Criteria for selection of alternate facilities If the alternate facilities that have already been selected are not in compliance with these criteria, a reassessment must be made and the alternate facility brought into compliance with this order.ģ. The following criteria must be followed during the selection process for an alternate facility that would be used in a catastrophic event. (For additional information, see Federal Preparedness Circular 67, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.)Ĭ.
#DRIFTING LANDS COOP FULL#
The facility must be capable of supporting emergency operations in a secure environment enabling the agency to continue to carry out its responsibilities while taking steps to recover and resume full operations. Alternate facilities are required as part of a COOP to be available for an unannounced relocation of essential agency personnel to continue essential agency functions, should an emergency necessitate such action. While steps have been taken to identify alternate facilities, to date, these decisions have been made in the absence of certain key locational criteria that are essential to making choices that ensure that GSA’s alternate facilities will be safe and functional.ī. This order is to provide guidance for the selection of alternate facilities to support the activation of a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in a catastrophic situation, such as a major terrorist attack. This order transmits the criteria to be used for the selection of alternate facilities in the event of the activation of the agency or a regional COOP.Ī. SUBJECT: Alternate Sites for Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Relocationġ.
