AppHealthCare (Appalachian District Health Department)   Continuity of Operations (COOP) Protocol    Purpose: The purpose of a Continuity of Operations Protocol (COOP) is to provide for continued departmental functions  under all hazards circumstances, ensure storage/back up of critical equipment, records and other assets, minimize  business damage and losses, achieve orderly response and recovery from the emergency and ensure succession of key  leadership. The continuity implementation process for AppHealthCare (Appalachian District Health Department) follows  four phases—readiness and preparedness, activation and relocation, continuity of operations, and reconstitution.    The overarching goal of this COOP is to reduce the consequences of any disruptive event to a manageable level. More  specifically, this COOP is designed to:   Clearly and succinctly define the roles, responsibilities, resources, and procedures necessary to assure that  operations necessary to provide assistance to citizens remain available before, during, and after an emergency.   Open and maintain a line of communication/dialog with public and private entities that are functionally‐related to  the activities and responsibilities of the local health department.   Encourage functionally‐related public and private entities to cooperate with the local health department so these  entities are able to be a central information collection and dissemination liaison agency for their respective  functional area.    Definitions and identification of essential services needed to sustain agency mission and operations:   Plans to sustain essential services regardless of the nature of the incident (i.e., all‐hazards planning)   Scalable work force reduction   Limited access to facilities   Broad‐based implementation of social distancing policies, if indicated   Positions, skills and personnel needed to continue essential services and functions   Identification of agency vital records that support essential functions and/or must be preserved in an incident.   Alternate worksites   Devolution of uninterruptible services for scaled down operations   Reconstitution of uninterruptible services  It is the policy of AppHealthCare (Appalachian District Health Department) to incorporate continuity requirements into  daily operations to assure seamless and immediate continuation of Critical Essential Function capabilities so that critical  Public Health functions and services remain available to the citizens of Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga Counties.    Continuity Protocol Operational Phases and Implementation  AppHealthCare (Appalachian District Health Department) has adopted the model shown below as the definition of phases  of awareness for All‐Hazard emergencies. The Health Director or his or her designee is responsible for establishing the  Operational Phase. Upon the designation of the Activate Phase the ICS process goes into effect and the Time‐Based  Operational Phases will be applied. This protocol should be used in conjunction with the AppHealthCare (Appalachian  District Health Department) All Hazards Plan. NOTE: Activation of the COOP during a pandemic influenza outbreak for  AppHealthCare (Appalachian District Health Department) will be decided upon by the Health Director or his or her  designee with consultation and direction from the State Health Director.  Table 1: Operational Phases  Phase  Time Frame  Phase I:  Activation and  Relocation

Assemble documents/equipment required for essential functions at  alternate facility.  Order needed equipment/supplies.  Transport documents and designated communications.  Secure original facility.  Continue essential functions at regular facility, if available, until alternate  facility is ready.  Advise alternate facility on status.  Where are the operations and support teams?   Activate advance, operations, and support teams as necessary.  Provide guidance to contingency team personnel and information to the  public.  Identify replacements for missing personnel (delegation of authority and  orders of succession).  Commence full execution of operations supporting essential functions at  the alternate facility.  Inform all personnel that the threat no longer exists.  Supervise return to normal operating facility.  Conduct a review of COOP plan execution and effectiveness.  Develop after action report (AAR) with Corrective Action Plan (CAP) post  incident/event.  Monitor improvement plan to track changes.  Train and exercise on the revised plan  

  Decision Process   AppHealthCare will perform every attempt to deliver services based on the incident and situation. The local Health  Department Director is responsible for activating the COOP and notifying the appropriate staff. The decision to suspend  all functions and services should be based on the expected duration of the emergency and the extent of the emergency.  All COOP operations will be in conjunction with the county’s emergency management coordinator. At the time that the  staff absenteeism numbers have been determined, it may become necessary for the Health Department to adopt  alternate operations and assign staff to alternate roles to provide coverage for essential/high priority services.    Reconstitution  AppHealthCare (Appalachian District Health Department) will resume normal functioning after the emergency has been  declared as over and staff and resources have returned to normal levels. In a public health event, reconstitution will occur  when the disease or other threat no longer exists. Critical Functions that have been devolved will be restored on a priority  basis from highest to lowest. In the event of a pandemic, telework will be implemented.    LHD Management Lines of Succession  Key Position
