Approved: __________________________________ Date:__________________ Julie Daniels, Chair Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County 4|Page SECTION I: INTRODUCTION I-1 Purpose Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 252.365: Emergency Coordination Officers; disaster-preparedness plans, this Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) establishes policy and guidance to ensure the continued execution of the mission-essential functions for the OEL-DOE and the local Early Learning Coalitions in the event that an emergency threatens or incapacitates operations, and requiring the relocation of selected personnel and functions of the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County, Inc., located at the following locations: 5735 ; 5665; and 5755 Rio Vista Drive, Clearwater, FL 33760, (Main Office) 691 43rd Street South, St. Petersburg, FL 33711, (YMCA Child’s Park Office) 301 S. Disston Avenue, Tarpon Springs, FL 33760 (Tarpon Office) 8550 Ulmerton Road, Ste.130, Largo, Florida 33771 (Eckerd Community Alternatives Office) Specifically, this plan is designed to: a. Ensure the Coalition is prepared to respond to emergencies, recover from them, and mitigate their impact. b. Ensure the Early Learning Coalition referenced above is prepared to provide critical services in an environment that is threatened, diminished, or incapacitated. I-2 Applicability and Scope This document is applicable to the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County. The Coalition currently administers the School Readiness Program and the Voluntary Prekindergarten Program for Pinellas County.

The objectives of this plan include: a. Ensuring the continuous performance of the local Coalition’s essential functions/operations during an emergency; b. Protecting essential facilities, equipment, records, and other assets; c. Reducing or mitigating disruptions to operations; d. Providing for the safety of staff and visitors to facilities, reducing loss of life, minimizing damage and losses; e. Identifying and designating principals and support staff to be relocated; f. Facilitating decision-making for execution of the plan and the subsequent operations; and g. Achieving a timely and orderly recovery from the emergency and resumption of full service to all customers. II-2 Planning Considerations In accordance with State guidance and emergency management principles, the Coalition’s COOP: Will be maintained at a high-level of readiness; Will be capable of implementation both with and without warning; Will be operational no later than 12 hours after activation, if at all possible. 6|Page Will be capable of maintaining sustained operations for up to 30 days; Will take maximum advantage of existing state or federal and local government infrastructures; and Addresses protection of equipment and other Coalition assets. II-3 Assumptions In the event of an emergency, it is assumed that: a. All mission-essential functions provided by other state agencies in support of the local Coalition will continue in accordance with their respective continuity of operations plans. This includes, but is not limited to, services provided by the Office of Early Learning–DOE. b. It will be determined (taking into consideration staffing and technical resources) if the mission-essential functions of the affected primary facility can feasibly be temporarily transferred to an established unaffected state or community-based facility as an alternative to physically relocating staff. II-4 COOP Execution Emergencies or potential emergencies may affect the ability of the Coalition to perform its mission-essential functions from any or all of its primary facilities. The following are scenarios that could mandate the activation of the local Early Learning Coalition’s COOP: The Coalition’s administrative/fiscal offices are closed to normal business activities as a result of an event or credible threats of an event that would preclude access or use of the facility and the surrounding area. The facilities for eligibility, resource and referral and other required services are closed to normal business activities as a result of an event or credible threats of an event that would preclude access or use of the facility and the surrounding area. The county is closed to normal business activities as a result of a widespread utility failure, natural disaster, significant hazardous material incident, civil disturbance, or terrorist or military attacks. In an event so severe that normal operations are interrupted, or if such an incident appears imminent and it would be prudent to evacuate the facilities or the city/town/county, as a precaution, the Coalition’s designated employee may activate the local Coalition’s COOP. The designated alternate facility will be activated, if necessary, and at the discretion of the designated employee of the Coalition. 7|Page a. The Relocation Team (composed of subject matter experts and essential support staff) for the Coalition will ensure the mission-essential functions of the Coalition are maintained and capable of being performed using the designated alternate facility until full operations are re-established at the administrative/fiscal entity and/or subcontractor offices. b. Selected staff from appropriate Coalition, county, or other agencies may supplement the Coalition’s Relocation Team. The Relocation Team will either relocate temporarily to the designated alternate facility, if necessary, or operate remotely from a predetermined secure location serving as an assembly site. The Relocation Team will be responsible for continuing mission-essential functions of the Coalition within 12 hours and for a period up to 30 days pending regaining access to the administrative/fiscal or the full occupation of the designated alternate facility. c. All staff necessary to perform the mission-essential functions of the Coalition will be contacted and advised to report to either the alternate facility, a predetermined secure location, or other location as determined by the Coalition’s designee. Other staff (non-relocating staff) will be instructed to go to or remain home pending further instructions. d. Incidents could occur with or without warning and during duty or non-duty hours. Whatever the incident or threat, the COOP will be executed in response to a full-range of disasters and emergencies, to include natural disasters, terrorist threats and incidents, and technological disruptions and failures. e. It is expected that, in most cases, the Coalition and/or subcontractor will receive a warning of at least a few hours prior to an incident. Under these circumstances, the process of activation would normally enable the partial, limited, or full activation of the COOP with a complete and orderly alert, notification of all personnel, and activation of the Relocation Team. f. Without warning, the process can become less routine, and potentially more serious and difficult. The ability to execute the COOP following an incident that occurs with little or no warning will depend on the severity of the incident's impact on the administrative/fiscal entity and/or the subcontractor’s facilities, and whether the Coalition’s or subcontractor’s personnel are present in the building or in the surrounding area. The CEO, Janet Chapman, is the responsible party for the activation of the Coalition’s COOP at the local level. II-5 Disaster Magnitude Levels The following Disaster Magnitude Classification definitions may be used to determine the execution level of the COOP. These levels of disaster are defined as: 8|Page II-6 Minor Disaster. Any disaster that is likely to be within the response capabilities of local government and results in only minimal need for state or federal assistance and would not necessarily require activation of the COOP. Major Disaster. Any disaster that will likely exceed local capabilities and require a broad range of state and federal assistance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will be notified and potential federal assistance will be predominantly recovery-oriented. In the event of a major disaster, Office of Early Learning – DOE will be notified and the COOP may be activated in coordination with the Pinellas County Emergency Operations Center. Catastrophic Disaster. Any disaster that will require massive state and federal assistance, including immediate military involvement. Federal assistance will involve response as well as recovery needs. In the event of catastrophic disaster, the COOP will be activated in coordination with State and County Emergency Operations Center. Emergency Coordinating Officer The Coalition will need to designate an Emergency Coordinating Officer (ECO). In an emergency, the Emergency Coordinating Officer will work closely with the appropriate County Emergency Operations Center and the State of Florida Emergency Operations Center to provide information and direction to the Emergency Coordinating Officer and affected staff to provide immediate response capability to protect life and property and to ensure minimal disruption to the continuance of the Coalition’s mission-essential functions. The ELC has a designated Emergency Coordinating Officer, Janet Chapman, who is also the CEO of the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County, Inc. In an emergency, Ms. Chapman will work closely with the appropriate County Emergency Operations Center and the State of Florida Emergency Operation Center to provide information and direction to Coalition staff. Ms. Chapman will provide immediate response capability to protect life and property and to ensure minimal disruption to the continuance of the ELC’s mission-essential functions. The Emergency Coordinating Officer will review the COOP and all attachments annually to identify necessary resources to support COOP activities, to ensure that the plan remains viable and compatible with Florida’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and that it is maintained at a high level of readiness. The resources necessary to ensure adequate maintenance and operation of the COOP will be considered in the ELC’s annual budget planning process. Such resources may include laptop computers, plastic storage boxes for movement of records, water/fire proof safe. 9|Page II-7 Executive Leadership Team The Executive Leadership Team (Executive Committee), which is a standing committee of the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County, Inc., will review the COOP and all attachments annually to identify necessary resources to support COOP activities, to ensure that the plan remains viable and compatible with Florida’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, and that it is maintained at a high level of readiness. The resources necessary to ensure adequate maintenance and operation of the COOP will be considered in the Coalition’s planning process. The Executive Leadership Team consists of leadership staff with responsibilities linked to the mission-essential functions of the Coalition. This team has the responsibility for assessing the situation, activating the COOP, selecting alternate facilities, providing information to and from the OEL-DOE/ and other appropriate state and federal entities. The Executive Leadership Team will ensure that rosters for their respective staff are kept current, and that staff members are informed and provided reporting instructions. II-8 Relocation Team Coalition personnel who are responsible for relocating services under this plan to the selected alternate facility are known collectively as the Relocation Team. a. The Relocation Team must be able to continue operations and the performance of mission-essential functions for up to 30 days at an alternate facility. Each alternate facility must be currently equipped with telephones, computers and fax machines. If the Coalition does not currently have equipment such as laptops, computers, FAX machines, printers, and cell phones, and a disaster should occur, the OEL-DOE may assist the Relocation Team in obtaining additional equipment once the disaster/need occurs. The Relocation Team should be able to work from a remote facility to ensure child care services are not disrupted. b. Since alternate facility space and support capabilities may be limited, the membership of the Relocation Team is restricted to only those personnel who possess the skills and experience needed for the execution of missionessential functions. c. Coalition personnel who are not designated Relocation Team members may be directed to move to other facilities or duty stations, or may be advised to remain at or return home pending further instructions, as determined by the ECO. When it is determined to be feasible, personnel may be allowed to telecommute from their homes until the affected facility can be reoccupied or another facility is established. d. COOP activation should not, in most circumstances, affect the pay and benefits of either Relocation Team members or other personnel. Staff who is required to temporarily relocate to another geographical area of the State shall 10 | P a g e be compensated for travel expenses in accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 112.061. e. Implementation In the event of activation of the COOP, the Coalition’s Emergency Coordinating Office, or alternate, will implement the following measures, as soon as it is determined that it is safe to travel within the county. This procedure would pertain to a regional disaster as well as a county specific disaster. 1. Assessment and Triage a. Assess the Coalition offices for damage and presence of functioning utilities. b. Report to the Relocation Team (via phone or e-mail) the status of the Coalition, the out offices and the ability of the Coalition to resume mission-essential functions. 1. The Relocation Team will maintain “Drive Away Kits” to be used in case of emergency. These kits may contain such items as staff rosters, laptops, hard copies of forms used in performing missionessential functions, flashlights, batteries, portable radios, first aid kits, etc. c. Contact the Director of Communication who in turn will send out a phone-vite to all staff. Staff will respond to their supervisor concerning their safety and availability to work. 1. Prior to the disaster, the Relocation Team will identify members of the staff necessary to perform the critical functions. d. Communicate with out offices to determine the status of the offices for damage, presence of functioning utilities, staff safety and availability to report for work and ability to resume mission essential functions for which they are responsible. e. Convene (by prearranged agreement) a meeting of the Relocation Team at noon the day following the termination of the immediate danger or threat, at the Coalition offices. If the Coalition office is uninhabitable, the prearranged meeting place will follow the sequence of alternative site locations for Coalition operations identified in Attachment 2. The Relocation Team will discuss options for resumption of all mission-essential functions of the Coalition and develop a plan and timetable for implementation that is appropriate given the status of the emergency. 11 | P a g e f. Communicate daily (by phone or prearranged meeting) until the emergency has passed to assess the status of the delivery of mission – essential functions and to revise strategies as necessary to ensure that service delivery is resumed as quickly as possible and maintained. 2. Fiscal Controls, Integrity, Payroll and Provider Payment Functions a. If given adequate warning of impending disaster or emergency, the CEO and CFO will make arrangements for necessary fund transfers and/or payments in advance of usual payment schedules, to ensure that fiscal soundness of the Coalition and timely provider payments are maintained. b. In the absence of pre-warning of disaster or emergency, the Coalition’s Emergency Coordinating Officer and CFO, and members of the Relocation Team will meet as soon as practical to assess the status of fiscal integrity of the Coalition and to plan for continuation of critical functions. c. Using generators or other sources of power, as possible, the CFO will access Coalition fiscal records and accounts and perform necessary transactions required by the Coalition. If it is not possible to power-up the normal offices, the Coalition fiscal operations will resume from an alternate office location or alternate site location as identified in Attachment 2. If the Coalition’s server is not accessible, essential fiscal and administrative duties may be performed by utilizing program software disks or hard copies. 3. Eligibility Operations a. Convene (by prearranged agreement) a meeting of Relocation Team at noon, the day following the termination of the immediate danger or threat, at the Coalition offices. If the Coalition office is uninhabitable, the prearranged meeting place will follow the sequence of alternate site locations for Coalition operations identified in Attachment 2. The Relocation Team will discuss options for resumption of all mission essential functions including eligibility and develop a plan and timetable for implementation that is appropriate given the status of the emergency. b. Communicate with out offices to determine the status of the offices for damage, presence of functioning utilities, staff safety and availability to report for work and ability to resume mission essential functions for which they are responsible. c. Communicate daily (by phone or prearranged meeting) until the emergency has passes to access the status of delivery of eligibility and 12 | P a g e to revise strategies as necessary to ensure that service delivery is resumed as quickly as possible and maintained. d. As necessary and appropriate, relocate to sites that are undamaged and have functional utilities (most likely to the Coalition’s out offices or alternate site locations identified in Attachment 2). A battery powered laptop computer and wireless network access card will be available to allow eligibility functions to continue from a variety of remote locations. 4. Resource and Referral a. Convene (by prearranged agreement) a meeting of Relocation Team at noon, the day following the termination of the immediate danger or threat, at the Coalition offices. If the Coalition office is uninhabitable, the prearranged meeting place will follow the sequence of alternate site locations for Coalition operations identified in Attachment 2. The Relocation Team will discuss options for resumption of all mission essential functions including child care resource and referral, and develop a plan and timetable for implementation that is appropriate given the status of the emergency. b. The subcontracted agency, 2-1-1 of Tampa Bay, will activate and implement its own internal COOP (copy on file in the Coalition office) which outlines specific actions to be taken to re-establish and maintain resource and referral functions in the event of an emergency. 5. Provider Support and Assistance a. Convene (by prearranged agreement) a meeting of Relocation Team at noon, the day following the termination of the immediate danger or threat, at the Coalition offices. If the Coalition office is uninhabitable, the prearranged meeting place will follow the sequence of alternate site locations for Coalition operations identified in Attachment 2. The relocation Team will discuss options for resumption of all missionessential functions of the Coalition including provider support and develop a plan and timetable for implementation that is appropriate given the status of the emergency. b. Working with the Relocation Team member representing Provider Services, staff will conduct damage assessments of all school readiness and VPK child care providers and family child care homes throughout the county. Assessment will begin with a phone survey (if phone service is effect) followed by a site visit to each provider reporting damage if able. The ELVC will maintain the following information for every school readiness and VPK provider to facilitate contacts post –emergency: business address and phone number, home address and home and cell phone numbers of the center owner/operator/director (as appropriate for the site). 13 | P a g e c. Implement disaster-relief projects as appropriate (such as mini grants, delivery of replacement supplies, etc. a) and will distribute information to providers on sources of local, state and d federal assistance (FEMA, United Way, etc.) The CEO has been granted automatic authorization by the ELC Board to access and expend up to $10,000.00 in Coalition funds to assist providers to resume operation as quickly as possible. 6. Telecommuting Safety of the Coalition staff is of prime concern in implementation of this COOP. It is expected that staff will use good judgment to ensure their own safety when determining whether or not to attempt to travel to the Coalition office during and after the time of emergency activation of the COOP. In general, the following guidelines will apply: a. The Emergency Coordinating office, having assessed the status of the Coalition office and county-wide operation will provide direct instruction to staff regarding whether or not to report to work via phone vite. Staff should not report to the office until directed to do so by the Emergency Coordinating Officer. In the interim, staff should make every reasonable effort to contact their supervisor by telephone, cell phone and /or e-mail to apprise them of their personal status ,location and availability to return to work, The Supervisors will in turn, notify the Relocation team b. The Emergency Coordinating Officer will authorize on a situation –by situation basis during the activation of the COOP, employees to telecommute. In the case of a county0wide disaster, when it may be unsafe to travel within the county and /or utilities are not available, telecommuting may be considered the primary way of doing business Employees should not make this assumption, until directed by the Emergency Coordinating Officer to report to the Coalition office or an alternate location. c. The Emergence Coordinating Officer will be expected to maintain, at all time, access via cell phone, home phone and home-accessible e-mail. 7. Backup Systems and Payroll and Travel Reimbursements a. Using generators or other sources of power, as possible, the CFO will access Coalition fiscal records and accounts and perform necessary transactions required by the Coalition. b. If it is not possible to power up the normal offices of the ELC, Coalition fiscal operations will resume at an alternate location as identified in Attachment 2. 14 | P a g e c. If necessary, payroll and/or travel reimbursements will be completed manually. II-9 Alternate Relocation Point The determination of the alternate relocation point should be made at the time of activation by the Coalition’s ECO in consultation with the Executive Leadership Team of the Coalition, if time permits, and will be based on the incident, threat, risk assessments, and execution timeframe. a. To ensure the adequacy of assigned space and other resources, the Emergency Coordinating Officer should review all alternate facilities annually, within a fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). The CEO will be advised of the results of this review and of any updates to the alternate relocation point information. b. The designated alternate relocation point should be pre-equipped with telephone, fax and computer lines which have electronic access to the Coalition’s records and statewide early learning system databases. c. The alternate relocation points have adequate parking capability to support the Relocation Team. Information on dining and lodging should be provided to the Relocation Team members as soon as possible upon COOP activation. Should the Emergency Coordinating Officer (ECO) determine that it is necessary to relocate Coalition operations to an alternate site, preferred routes for distribution of communication about activation of the Colaition’s COOP will be ocnductedusing the following method(s). (These are listed in order of preference; actual method(s) used will be situation-dependent.) a. Telephone call to staff members on office, home and/or cell phone if telephone or cellular services are available. b. Voice mail messages placed on office and staff cell phones. c. Written instructions posted on the door to the Clearwater office location. d. Automated response message to incoming e-mails. e. Announcement on the local TV and radio stations. f. If services are available, the Director of IT will broadcast fax and/or email communications. II-10 Mission-Essential Functions It is important to establish priorities before an emergency to ensure that the relocated staff can complete the mission-essential functions. All Relocation Team members shall ensure that mission-essential functions can continue or resume as rapidly and 15 | P a g e efficiently as possible during an emergency relocation. Any task not deemed mission-essential may be deferred until additional personnel and resources become available. In the event of an emergency, the following primary functions are considered mission- essential for the OEL-DOE: 1. Administration of Early Learning services at the local-level Coordinating responses to all subcontractors and child care providers regarding activities and services which may be affected. Ensuring contact points are maintained and communication is intact. 2. Distribution of Programmatic Funds 3. Certification of SR Families Coordinating responses to all SR families regarding activities and services which may be affected Ensuring contact points are maintained and communication is intact. Certifying families as needed To ensure reliable infrastructure support for the Coalition, the following support functions are also considered to be mission-essential: Executive Direction. Information Technology Support & Maintenance. Finance & Accounting Services. Communications Facilities/Property Management. Human Resource Management. Family Services II-11 Delineation of Mission-Essential Functions In the event the capacity of the Coalition is such that it cannot respond to the needs of customers or deliver crucial services, the Coalition’s functions will revert to alternative providers. II-12 Warning Conditions a. With Warning. It is expected that, in most cases, the Coalition will receive a warning of at least a few hours prior to an event. This will normally enable the full execution of the COOP with a complete and orderly alert, notification, and deployment of the Relocation Team to an assembly site or a pre-identified alternate relocation point. b. Without Warning. The ability to execute the COOP following an event that occurs with little or no warning will depend on the severity of the emergency and the number of personnel that survive. If the deployment of staff to an alternate relocation point is not feasible because of the loss of personnel, 16 | P a g e temporary leadership of the Coalition will be passed to the OEL-DOE which shall implement the Coalition’s COOP at the local level. II-13 Non-Duty Hours. Affected staff should be able to be alerted and the Relocation Team activated to support operations for the duration of the emergency. Duty Hours. If possible, the COOP will be activated immediately to support operations for the duration of the emergency. Direction and Control In the event that the CEO and Chair are incapacitated or unavailable to make decisions regarding the Coalition’s COOP, authorized successors to the CEO must be specified. Lines of succession should be maintained by the Coalition organizational elements to ensure continuity of mission-essential functions (Operating Organizational Chart). As organizational changes occur, the Operating Organizational Chart should be updated and submitted to the OEL-DOE. a. Pursuant to Sections 20.05 (1) (b) and 20.50 (3), Florida Statutes, the Coalition must have an official established memorandum for Delegation of Authority for managers and officers within the local Coalition. b. The CEO and/or their designee may order activation of the Coalition’s COOP. c. The Emergency Coordinating Officer, which may be the same individual, will be responsible for disseminating COOP guidance and direction during the activation and relocation phases. 1. The CEO, Janet Chapman, and/or her designee, Lindsay Carson, will notify the Relocation Team that the COOP is being activated. 2. The Memorandum of Delegation of Authority states that Lindsay Carson, the Deputy CEO, will take over the responsibilities of the CEO should she not be available or able to perform this responsibility. 3. Lines of succession are be maintained by the Coalition organizational elements to ensure continuity of mission-essential functions (Operating Organizational Chart). As organizational changes occur, the Operating Organizational Chart is updated and submitted to the OEL-DOE. d. When executed, the Emergency Coordinating Officer will notify OEL-DOE, and the Pinellas County Emergency Operations Center (727) 464-3800. During an emergency activation call (727) 464-4333. The Pinellas County Emergency Operations Center will in turn contact the State of Florida Emergency Management Operations Center with this information. 17 | P a g e II-14 Operational Hours During COOP contingencies, the Coalition’s ECO or individual under the Delegation of Authority will determine the hours of work for the staff. II-15 Alert and Notification Procedures must be followed in the execution of the Coalition’s COOP. The extent to which this will be possible will depend on the emergency, the amount of warning received, whether personnel are on duty or off duty, and the extent of damage to the affected facilities and its occupants. This plan is designed to provide a flexible response to multiple events occurring within a broad spectrum of prevailing conditions. The degree to which this plan is implemented depends on the type and magnitude of the events or threats thereof. Notice of the activation of the ELC COOP will be sent to all ELC Board Members, Early Education and Care Providers and staff by email, telephone calls/phone vite and/or faxes within 24 hours. Our Early Education and Care Providers also each have a COOP Plan which will also be activated by them to ensure that all clients, providers and parents will be notified of the disaster and plans. If public notice is necessary, the Emergency Coordinating Officer will send it within 24 hours of the disaster.

Disaster Recovery Procedures The following procedures address getting the agency back to a point to conduct business as usual, with emphasis on restoring External and Internal Communication, Business Functionality, Critical Data and Information, and Physical Network Recovery: 1. External and Internal Communication. The Early Learning Coalition strives to utilize a Unified Communication (UC) concept with regard to management and staffing, referring to phone, email, instant messaging, voicemail, fax and text messages. As an organization, our goal is to have multiple lines of communication available to management and staff at all times. With regard to an internet presence, the Early Learning Coalition contracts with the Children’s Forum in Tallahassee, FL to provide web hosting in a remote city so as to make information available should a disaster occur locally In addition, the Coalition has a presence on Facebook and Twitter, making it possible to provide emergency information in real time. Reestablishing communication is a top priority should the disaster occur. This means establishing all lines of communication among the staff internally and the community, whether it be telephone, internet or social media. The Coalition may find it necessary to use both Coalition and personal mobile phones until lines of communications are back online. All outgoing Coalition voicemail messages will be changed to include basic information about rebuilding efforts. The message should briefly outline any changes in your organization’s services and instructions for how to stay informed. 2. Business Functionality. In the case of disaster, the Coalition will focus first on Provider Reimbursement (Finance and accounting) and Eligibility, then secondly on Program Services, Quality Assurance, Developmental Services, and Professional Development. Employees working in departments deemed non-critical will be asked to assist those departments of high priority to resume regular business activities. 3. Critical Data and Information. The Early Learning Coalition utilizes a two-tiered approach to storing documentation: hard copies and USB storage devices. a. Hard Copies are stored at multiple Coalition locations and/or Business Records Management (BRM), 1125 Eldridge St., Clearwater, FL 33755 b. The Coalition utilizes 3 waterproof USB Flash drives, encrypted with TrueCrypt, to store critical operation data and hard copies in digital format, one given to Janet Page 52 Chapman, CEO, and the remaining two to Todd Hughes and Sandy Dupasquier (IT Department) Data includes: a. Warranties and receipts for computers and peripherals b. Information about where, how, and how frequently your data is stored and backed up 1. Backups tapes are stored at: 2. Business Records Management (BRM) 3. 1125 Eldridge St., Clearwater, FL 33755 4. The Coalition utilizes Symantec Backup Exec for backups. Backups are saved to tape with the ability to also save to external hard drives. 5. Backups are created using the Grandfather-Father-Son schema. 6. The Coalition utilizes a backup strategy that includes backing up the entire Active Directory Server, Exchange 2010, EFS, and InDEX document scanning. 7. Backups are regularly tested by restoring random files. 8. If for some reason the Coalition does not have backup data and needs to recover mission-critical data from a physically damaged machine, the Coalition will hire a professional data-recovery service. c. Data restoration instructions. d. An all-inclusive IT spreadsheet that contains hardware passwords, local administrator account passwords, critical application passwords, vendor/partner information, online account , specialized Coalition email passwords, Blackberry passwords and software licensing information including validation codes and number of licenses available. e. Contact information for employees, vendors and consultants that maintain the Coalition tech infrastructure 1. Todd Hughes, Director of IT i. 727.254.1987 ii. chilleeb@tampabay.rr.com 2.
