Like other local governments across the country, the County of San Benito, California, understands the need for a current and actionable continuity of operations (COOP) plan. Earlier this year, the county chose BOLDplanning, a division of Agility, as its partner in preparedness and kicked off a series of COOP planning workshops. Over 50 participants representing various county departments participated, and all were introduced to the BOLDplanning.com platform. (It’s the solution of choice for 10,000+ continuity, emergency, and hazard mitigation plans nationwide.)
Since that time, and as evidenced by a comprehensive plan review late last month (August 2022), San Benito County has made tremendous progress toward its plan’s development. Once-cumbersome COOP-related documents, data, and processes have been consolidated into the platform and are now easily accessible 24/7/365. The result: 30 departmental plans, including education, agriculture, corrections, and the Hollister Fire Department, all of which feed into San Benito County’s overarching COOP plan.
