All WSU units are required to develop and maintain an Emergency Response/Action Plan and Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) under BPPM 50.39. WSU Ready is easy to use and requires no advance training. This online, system-wide program will enable all WSU campuses, colleges, departments, units research and extension centers, and other WSU facilities to better prepare to meet the challenges of responding to emergencies and resuming operations after a major event.
To get started on your departmental plan, download the WSU Ready How-to Guide at https://oem.wsu.edu/documents/2017/08/wsu-ready-how-to-guide.pdf/ for step by step instructions. More information can be found at https://oem.wsu.edu/continuity-planning-wsu-ready/.
All new departmental plans must be completed and submitted by Friday, October 1, through the WSU-Ready online system. Existing plans should be reviewed and updated by the unit every three years.
