The new Continuity of Operations eLearning tool improves University preparedness.
Imagine...
- The power suddenly goes out. Do you know your next move?
- Your building closed. Could your team keep working?
- Something essential broke, flooded, froze, or crashed. Would you be scrambling?
Most of us don’t think about emergencies until one occurs, but small disruptions can seriously impact teaching, research, and operations.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has created the new, self-paced, Continuity of Operations (COOP) eLearning tool designed to help you and your team pre-plan for these events before they happen.
What’s Included?
- Three short modules with interactive videos and activities to get you thinking.
- Two tracks — one for researchers and one for non-researchers — to make sure you’re protecting what’s important to you!
- Real-world examples of what to do when something doesn’t go as planned.
- Guidance and resources needed to create (or update) your continuity plan.
What’s In It for Me?
- Less stress. When something unexpected happens, you already have a plan!
- Protect your work. Whether you’re teaching, researching, or running operations, you will learn about protecting what matters to you.
- Save time. A little planning now can keep operations moving and mitigate losses.
- Make a difference. Your team will thank you when you know exactly what to do! Plus, save yourself (and UMB!) valuable time, money, and resources.
