I.O INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
This City of Port Orchard Continuity of Operations & Continuity of Government Plan (hereafter
referred to as the COOP Plan) establishes policy, guidance and a management framework to
establish operational procedures to sustain essential activities if normal operations are nct
feasible in the event an emergency threatens or incapacitates operations, and the potential
relocation of selected personnel and functions is required. Specifically, this document is
designed to:
. Ensure the City is prepared to respond to emergencies, recover from them and mitigate
against their impacts. Ensure the City is prepared to provide critical services in an environment that is
threatened, diminished, or incapacitatedo Provide timely direction, control, and coordination before, during, and after an event or
upon notification of a credible threato Establish and enact time-phased implementation procedures to activate various
components. Facilitate the return to normal operating conditions as soon as practical, based on
circumstances and the threat environment. Ensure the (COOP) is viable, operational and compliant with all guidance documents. Ensure the (COOP) is fully capable of addressing all types of all hazards and ensures
mission-essential functions are able to continue with minimal or no disruptions during
large scale incidents.
The COOP Plan characteristics are
. Capable of being maintained at a high level of readiness. Capable of implementation with or without warning. Able to achieve operational status no later than 12 hours after activation. Designed to take maximum advantage of existing department infrastructures. Designed to ensure citizens that when a disaster strikes, the City will continue critical
functions using available facilities, resources, and personnel
Mission essenfial functions must be continued throughout or resumed rapidly after a disruption
of normal activities.
1.2 APPLICABILITYANDSCOPE
The COOP applies to all City departments and personnel. COOP activities may be initiated at
any time as determined necessary by City leadership. The COOP describes capabilities and
resources and establishes mission essential functions and responsibilities of departments,
employees, and policy makers. The scope does not apply to temporary disruptions of service
during short-term building evacuations or other situations where services are anticipated to be
restored quickly. The Mayor or designee will determine situations requiring implementation qf
the COOP.

FOUO
4t29t2020
The emergency conditions, events, and situations under which this COOP Plan would be
implemented include:o A City facility is down but the rest of the facilities are functioning normallyo City facilities are down, and other critical services are down (e.9., electricity, water,
etc.)e All facilities are compromised down due to natural causes and/or man-made events
(e.9., a terrorist or cyber-attack)
1.3 AUTHORITIES AND REFERENCES
This COOP Plan was written under the authority of and to support the implementation of
the following documents:
o Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter 2.80, Emergency Management Organizationo Chapter RCW 38.52o Chapter RCW 42.15o Title 119-30 WACo City of Port Orchard Personnel Policy Manualo City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Dec. 2014o Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20o National Security Presidential Directive 51o Federal Continuity Directives 1 and2o Continuity Guidance Circular 1o Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub.

Assistance Act P. L. 93-288, as amended by Public Law 107-136, January 24, 2002',
1.4 PLANNINGASSUMPTIONS
Planning assumptions for the City and its departments include:
. Because City assets and systems may be damaged, destroyed, or overuhelmed during
an extreme emergency, the City will make reasonable efforts to respond based on the
situation and the information and resources available at the time.. During a disaster the combined expertise and cooperation of public safety, government
at all levels, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations will be required.. The City will retain the authority and responsibility for direction and control of their own
incident operations, use of resources and application of mutual aid.o lncident management activities will be initiated and conducted using the principles
contained in the National lncident Management System.r The City's goal is to provide operational capability within 12 hours of the event and to
continue essential functions for at least 30 days or until termination of the event,
whichever is earlier.o ln an emergency, outside assistance could be interrupted or unavailable.. Emergencies or threatened emergencies may adversely affect some department's ability
to continue to support essential functions and to provide services to customers or
support to external agencies

2.0 coNcEPT OF OPERATTONS (CONOP)
2.1 oBJECTTVES
The objective of this COOP is to ensure a viable capability exists to continue essential
City functions across a wide range of potential emergencies, specifically when City
facilities are either threatened or inaccessible. The objectives of this document include:. Ensure the continuous performance of mission essential functions during an emergenc)4r Protect essential facilities, equipment, records and other assets;o Reduce or mitigate disruptions to operations;. Reduce loss of life, minimize damage and losses;. ldentify and designate principals and support staff to be relocated;o Facilitate decision-making for execution of the Plan and the subsequent conduct of
operations; ando Achieve a timely and orderly recovery from the emergency and resumption of full
services.
The City provides comprehensive governmentalfunctions and services focused on the creation,
growth, and livelihood of critical infrastructure, economy, and community. Through inter- and
intra-departmental relationships, the City will strive to provide critical and/or essential functions
and services to ensure that lives, property, and economy are protected during and after a
natural, man-made, or technical disruption or disaster.
2.2 PLANNING CONSIDERAT'ONS AND ASSUMPT'OA'S
ln accordance with state guidance and emergency management principles/best
practices, a viable COOP capability:
. Must be maintained at a high-level of readiness;
. Must be capable of implementation both with and without warning;
o Must be operational no later than 12 hours after activation;
o Must maintain sustained operations for up to 30 days; and
. Should take maximum advantage of existing state or federal and county
govern ment i nfrastructu res.
2.3 cooP ExEcuTtoN
Emergencies, or potential emergencies, may affect the ability of the City to perform its
mission essential functions from its primary facilities (City Hall, Public Works Shops,
South Kitsap Water Reclamation Facility, DCD, & Police Dept.). The following are
scenarios that could mandate the activation of the COOP.
. The primary City facilities are closed to normal business activities as a result of an event
or credible threats of an event that would preclude access or use of the facilities and the
surrounding area.
e The primary City facilities are closed to normal business activities as a result of
widespread utility failure, natural disaster, significant hazardous material incident, civil
disturbance, terrorist or military attacks. Under this scenario there could be uncertainty
City of Port Orchard
Continuity of Operations Plan
12
FOUO 4t29t2020
whether additional events such as secondary explosions, or cascading utility failures
could occur.
ln an event so severe that normal operations are interrupted, or if such an incident appears
imminent and it would be prudent to evacuate as a precaution, the Mayor or designee may
activate the COOP. A relevant alternate facility (see appendix) will be activated, if necessary, at
the discretion of the Mayor.
The Mayor or designee will gather at the alternate facility and will ensure the mission essential
functions are maintained and capable of being performed there until the assumption of full
operations is re-established at the primary facility(s).
The city will form a team of primary COOP personnel with the Emergency Response Planning
Group and the Executive Leadership Team.
This COOP team may be supplemented by other selected staff as determined by the Mayor.
The COOP team will serve as an initial relocation team for COOP activation or potential
activation. The COOP team will either relocate temporarily to an alternate facility, if necessary,
or operate remotely from a designated assembly site. The COOP team will be responsible to
continue the mission essential functions of the City of Port Orchard.
All staff necessary to perform the mission essential functions will need to be contacted and
advised to report to either the alternate facility, predetermined secure location, or other location
as determined by the Mayor. Clear instructions as to the actions necessary to be performed by
each of the staff should be predetermined.
It is possible that in some cases, the City of Port Orchard will receive a warning of at least a few
hours prior to an incident. Under these circumstances, the process of activation would normally
enable the partial, limited, or full activation of the COOP with a complete and orderly alert,
notification of all personnel, and activation of the EOC.
ln no warning events, the process becomes less routine, and potentially more serious and
difficult. The ability to execute the COOP following an incident that occurs with little or no
warning will depend on 1) the severity of the incident's impact on the physical facilities; 2)
whether City personnel are present in the affected facility or surrounding area and 3) the
necessity for an immediate evacuation.
Positive personnel accountability throughout all phases of emergencies, including COOP
activation, is of utmost concern, especially if the emergency occurs without warning. The City
has administrative plans for staff accountability using various methods via email, phone, and
messaging.

3.0 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 TIM E.PH AS ED IM P LEM ENTATI O N
In order to maximize the preservation of life and property in the event of any natural or
man-made disaster or threat, time-phased implementation may be applied. Time-
phased implementation is used to prepare and respond to current threat levels, to
anticipate escalation of those threat levels and, accordingly, plan for increased
response efforts and ultimately full COOP activation and potential facility relocation. The
extent to which time-phased implementation will be applied will depend upon the
emergency.
Phase 1: Readiness and Preparation
Readiness is the ability of each department or office to respond to a continuity incident or event.
Readiness is the ability of each department to respond to an incident or event requiring
utilization of the Continuity of Operations Plan. lt also includes review and revision cf
plans and tabletop exercises.
Phase 2: Relocation and Activation (0-12 hours)
During this phase the determination to transition to an alternate facility is made to
ensure minimal disruption to mission essential functions. The transition should be
completed within 12 hours of activation.
Phase 2 includes the following activities
r The occurrence of an event or the threat of an evento Review, analysis, and decision to activate the continuity plan
o Alert and notification of continuity personnelo Relocation, if necessary, to continuity facilitieso An accountability analysis of COOP personnelo ldentification of available leadershipo Determination and reporting of operational capabilitieso Evaluation of facilities, and equipmento Ensuring that mission essential functions with a recovery time of 12 hours or less
are reestablished
The decision process and procedures for physically activating the COOP Plan
encompass the following lncident Command System (lCS) functions, which are
consistent with the City's Emergency Operations Plan:
o lncident Command - Determine objectives and establish priorities based on the
nature of the incidento Planning Section - Develop the lncident Action Plan (lAP) to accomplish these
objectives; collect and evaluate information and maintain status of assigned
resourceso Operations Section - Develop the tactical organization and direct all resources
to carry out the incident action plano Logistics Section - Provide resources and all other services needed for supporl,
including transportation, food and lodging requirements
City of Port Orchard
Continuity of Operations Plan
14
FOUO 4t29t2020
Finance/Administrative Section - Monitor costs related to the incident, providing
cost analysis and overall fiscal guidance to include procurement and time
recording
Legal - Provide guidance on the legal and liability implications with COOP and
Continuity of Government Plan activation
Phase 3: Continuity of Operations
This phase includes the following activities to continue essential functions
o Account for all city personnelo Conduct essential functions (which depend on the situation)o Establish communications with supporting departments/agencies/municipalityo Conduct recovery activities as needed, coordinated through the EOC and/or
other departments with the required personnel expertise, (e.9. Port Orchard
Police Department, Public Works.), etc.
Plans or procedures include
. Guidance for non-essential COOP personnelo ldentification of replacement personnel and augmenters, as necessaryo Execution of all mission essential functions at the alternate facilityr Activation of processes and procedures to acquire the resources necessary to
continue mission essential functionso Communication with the community of status of eventsr Redeployment plans for phasing down continuity facility operations and returning
essential functions, personnel, records, and equipment to the primary or other
operating facility.
Phase4: Reconstitution
Reconstitution is conducted using a priority-based, phased approach. All
personnel will be informed that the necessity for COOP no longer exists.
lnstructions for resumption of normal operations include supervising an orderly
return to the normal operating facility, moving to another temporary facility, or
moving to a new permanent facility. The process of reconstitution will generally
start immediately after an event concludes and can run concurrently with the
recovery process. Some of the activities involved with reconstitution include, but
are not limited to:
o Assessing the status of affected facilities with the appropriate department and
personnelo Determining how much time is needed to repair the affected facility and/or to
acquire a new facilityo Supervising facility repairs with the appropriate department and personnelo Notifying decision makers of the status of repairs, including estimates of when
the repairs will be completedo lmplementing a priority-based, phased approach to reconstitution
There will be an after action review of the effectiveness of COOP Plans and procedures
as soon as possible, including an identification of aspects of the plans and procedures
o

that need to be corrected, followed by lessons learned and the development of a
Corrective Action Plan (CAP). A CAP is the plan of action and schedule for correcting a
process or procedure, thus eliminating the causes of an identified problem fron
recurring.
4.0 ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
The City has identified the essential functions that enable it to provide vital services, exercise
civil authority, maintain the safety and well-being of the general population, and sustain the
industrial and economic base in an emergency. Essential functions provide the basis for COOP
planning. Any task not deemed mission essential is deferred until additional personnel, time, cr
resources become available.
Essential functions are prioritized according to those activities that are pivotal to resuming
operations when a catastrophic event occurs. Prioritization is determined by the following:
o Urgency of each essential functiono Sequence for recovery of essential functions and their critical processes
Note: An essential function's urgency is related to the amount of time the function can be
suspended before it adversely affects the community. Urgency can be measured by either
Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) or Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). The Recovery Point
Objective (RPO) is more specific to information systems. lt is the amount of data that can be lost
measured by a time index. Not all processes have RPOs, and some processes can have botr
an RPO and an RTO.
Essential functions and their supporting processes and services are intricately connected. Eacr
essential function has unique characteristics and resource requirements, without which the
function could not be sustained. Those processes and services that are necessary to assure
continuance of an essential function are considered critical. Often, the processes and services
deemed critical vary depending upon the emergency or if they have a time or calendar
component.
Table 2 is a prioritized order of the essential functions within the city's departments. For each
essential function listed, their critical dependencies (supportive processes or services) are
provided.

8.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Should a primary position incumbent be unable to serve, a delegation may be implemented.
The types of authority that are addressed are emergency authority and administrative authority
Emergencv Authoritv refers to the ability to make decisions related to an emergency, such as
deciding whether to activate a COOP Plan, deciding whether to evacuate a building, or
determining which personnel should report for their duties.
Administrative Authoritv refers to the ability to make decisions that have effects beyond the
duration of the emergency. Unlike emergency authority, administrative authority does not have a
built-in expiration date. Such decisions involve policy determinations and include hiring and
dismissal of employees and allocation of fiscal and non-monetary resources.
A successor's authority is either full or limited.
Fult- Successor will assume full responsibility for essential function(s) during a COOP event.
Limited - Successor will assume limited responsibility for essential function(s) during a COOP
event. lf a successor's responsibility is limited the limitations need to be defined.
All positions that may have to delegate authority are as follows:
. Mayor. Mayor Pro Tempore. Police Chief. Deputy Chief of Policeo Public Works Director/City Engineero Public Works Operations Manager. Community Development Director. Finance Director
All successors will have full emergency authority if delegation should occur. Such a
delegation can be triggered by the activation of the COOP or if the incumbent is
unavailable. Procedures to be utilized for delegating authority are either face to face,
through a phone call or a text. The delegation of authority will be for the duration of a
COOP activation or incident or until a successor is appointed.
9.0 DEVOLUTION OF DIREGTION AND CONTROL
Devolution planning supports overall COOP planning and addresses catastrophic and other
disasters or events that render leadership and staff unavailable to, or incapable of, supporting
the execution of its essential functions from either its primary or continuity location(s).
ln Table 4, the department that each essential function will be transferred to is identified.
ln addition, the following information is also provided:

1O.O VITAL RECORDS AND DATABASES
COOP Plans account for identification and protection of vital records and databases (including
classified or sensitive data) that are needed to perform essential functions and activities and lo
reconstitute normal operations following an emergency. Each department has identified vital
records and/or databases that are needed to support the maintenance of the essential
functions. ln addition, the following information is also provided:
o Current status of the vital record(s) or databaseo Whether the vital record(s) or database is pre-positioned at or is to be hand carried to

FOUO 4t29t2020
11.0 VITAL SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT
A system or equipment is vital if it is essential to emergency operations and/or to the
continuance of essential functions during a crisis for a minimum of thirty days. COOP planning
for vital systems and equipment proceeds in the same way as planning for vital records, (i.e., to
the greatest extent possible, back-up electronic systems, pre-position duplicate systems and
equipment at a separate facility, and update vital systems and equipment on a regular basis.)
Each department has identified the system and equipment that are essential to the continued
function of the department and its mission, as well as:
o Current status of the system and equipment (stand-alone or stored on the network)o Whether the system and equipment are pre-positioned at the continuity facilityr Whether the system and equipment will be hand carried to the continuity facilityo The specific current location of the system and equipment
12.0 CRITICAL VENDORS
Each essential function and its supporting dependencies, processes, and services that are
necessary to assure continuance may have critical vendors. All departments have identified
their critical vendors.
1 3.0 CONTINUITY FACILITIES
Emergencies or potential emergencies, whether anticipated or unanticipated, may affect the
ability to perform mission-essentialfunctions from the primary locations.
13.1 Continuity Facilities - Logistics
Transportation, Lodging, and Food
ln the event the city must move to a continuity facility, the needs of staff operating at the
facility must be met. This includes provision for logistical support and lodging through
arrangement with vendors for transportation, hotels, catering, etc.
Security and Access
Not only does the continuity work site need to be identified and the care of staff
arranged, but the security of and access to both the primary and continuity facilities
during emergency and non-emergency situations also need to be arranged. The security
procedures should accommodate all hazards and include provisions for identifying
access restrictions.
13.2 Continuity Facilities and Work Sites
The continuity facility and work site allow the department's key personnel to perform
essential functions when an emergency renders the primary facility unusable.

15.0 MAINTAINING COOP READINESS
Major components of the maintenance program are the training of personnel in the performanc=
of their COOP responsibilities; the conducting of periodic exercises to test and improve COOP
Plans and procedures, systems, and equipment; and the institution of a multi-year process tr
ensure that the plan continues to be updated in response to changing conditions.
15.1 Training Plan
All personnel who will be involved in COOP activities will be trained and equipped tc
perform their emergency duties. Consideration will be given to "cross-training" team
members to ensure that the team is prepared to deal with the unusual demands that
may arise when emergency conditions must be faced by a reduced staff. COOP training
will include the following:
o lndividual and team training of COOP Team members and emergency personnel
to ensure currency of knowledge and integration of skills necessary to implement
the COOP Plan and carry out essential functions; team training will be conducteC
at least annually to ensure that COOP Team members are current on their
respective COOP responsibilitieso Refresher orientation for the COOP Team as it arrives at a continuity operating
facility; the orientation will cover the support and services available at the facility,
including communications and information systems, and administrative matters,
including supervision, security, and personnel policies
o Training courses and materials designed to improve knowledge and skills related
to carrying out COOP responsibilities
15.2 Testing and Exercising the Plan
Testing and exercising of COOP capabilities are essential to demonstrate and improve
the ability of the department to execute its COOP Plan. They serve to validate, or identity
for subsequent correction, specific aspects of COOP Plans, policies, procedures,
systems, and facilities.
Scope of Exercises
An effective program will include a variety of exercise types, including tabletops, drills,
and full-scale exercises. Full-scale exercises will simulate actual emergency conditions,
and exercises may include the phase-down of continuity facility operations and return to
normal operations. Following an exercise, a comprehensive debriefing and after-action
report will be completed.
The City will conduct COOP awareness campaigns and seminars throughout the fiscal
year. The City acting as the facilitator, will also conduct the following exercises:
o Year 1o Year 2o Year 3o Year 4
Workshop
Tabletop
Functional
Full Scale
Each annual exercise will build upon the previous year's exercise, resulting in a full-scale
exercise. Emergency management will facilitate the After Action Report (AAR) meeting
and publish the AAR.

Exercise Schedule
Testing and exercise plans for COOP will include:
o lnternal testing/exercising of COOP Plans and procedureso Testing of alert and notification procedures and systems for any type of
emergency at least quarterlyo Joint agency exercising of COOP Plans, where applicable and feasible
15.3 Multi-Year Strategy and Program Management Plan
It's effective to maintain COOP capabilities using a multi-year strategy and program
management plan. Such a management plan outlines the process(es) to be followed in
designating essential functions and resources, forecasts budgetary requirements,
anticipates and addresses issues and potential obstacles, and establishes planning
milestones.
15.4 COOP Plan Maintenance
The plan will be reviewed and updated at least every two years, or whenever necessary,
to reflect changes in essential functions, procedures, or contact information. Changes to
the plan will be noted in the Revision Record provided in the Foreword. The COOP
Program Management Team (Table 1) is responsible for ensuring that the plan is
reviewed and updated.

lncident impacts and operational needs will dictate the safe options for relocation;
however, the essential functions of the POMC do require some unique aspects of
location, thus if relocation is required, attention will be given to ability to access the
video conference link to the jail location and public access to the site. Although most
conference rooms could support a court proceeding, preference will be given to a
location with security measures in place (secure doors, metal detectors), private side
room availability for counsel and client holding, and ease of ingress and egress for
transportation of clients.
Communications
The POMC has one unique communication requirement - for video conference
capabilities to the Kitsap County Jail. Other than that requirement, the intent is to use
operational systems, including but not limited to, desk phones, cell phones, Outlook
email, and text messaging for communications during a (COOP) scenario.
Vital Records, Files, and Databases
The POMC has identified case files as being vital records for the support of court
proceedings. The partner contact information list is also a critical record for
communication with attorneys, advocates, and supporting agencies to operations. ln
addition to hard copy case files, the POMC uses the Washington State Judicial
lnformation System (JlS) database to support operations.
Critical Systems
The POMC has identified critical systems to support court proceedings as access to the
intranet and internet for access to the JIS database. There is also a requirement for the
in-court video conference link to the jail for in-custody defendant's criminal hearings.

email, and text messaging for communications during a (COOP) scenario.
Vital Records, Files, and Databases
lT has identified vital records to include various tracking logs and data files associated
with City electronic records.
Gritical Systems
Access to intranet and internet is necessary for lT to perform most essential functions
Gritical Equipment
lT has identified several types of critical equipment for the delivery of essential
functions. ln addition to phones, lT requires computer and connectivity hardware,
servers, and technical devices to support (COOP) tasks. lT depends on the fiber optic
connection to the data center making it a critical equipment resource.
External Gontacts
lT partners with and is dependent on several vendors for delivery of essential functions
Most vendors are in the technology industry and thus have disaster recovery programs
and redundancies in place to support the sustainment of service to the city.
Return to Operations
lT will have continual, but possibly limited, operations during a (COOP) incident. Return
to operations includes relocation to the original facility or a new facility if lT is working
from an alternate location. lT will resume normal business activities based on available
resources, priorities of city leadership, and restoration and recovery tasks necessary to
return all departments to normal operations. Depending on the nature of the incident
that created the need for (COOP) activities, lT may have a complex extended return to
normal operations while staff address incident impacts.
