Goal: Improve Operational CoordinationGoal: Improve Operational CoordinationPublic- and private-sector organizations alike can benefit from developing joint plans for managing emergencies, including recovering critical functions in the event of significant incidentsUnified Concept of Operations for Public and Private Sector CERTsEmergency response plans can mitigate damage and promote resiliency.

Effective emergency response plans are generally short and highly actionable so they can be readily tested, evaluated, and implemented.

Testing and exercising emergency response plans promotes trust, understanding, and greater operational coordination among public- and private-sector organizations.

Exercises also provide an important opportunity to identify new risk factors that can be addressed in response plans or controlled through regular risk management functions.
