At the request of the South Carolina Emergency Management Department, students in the 51°µÍø Master of Public Administration program completed a template to help counties develop continuity of operations plans (COOPs). Such planning helps local governments maintain basic services during times of crisis.

Executive Summary Excerpt: "While Aiken County does have an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and remains prepared for and aware of any emergency events, there is a continuous threat of possible operations’ failure due to one of these emergencies. Therefore, it is imperative that the county have a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in addition to the EOP. At the request of the director of the Aiken County Emergency Management Department, the Program Evaluation class in 51°µÍø’s Master of Public Administration program has created the following non-technical COOP for Aiken County’s Information Technology (IT) department. This COOP will ensure the IT department’s ability to perform its essential functions if a human-made or natural disaster strikes the county. This COOP will help the IT department not only continue to operate its essential functions during the event but also recover and restore its normal operations following the disaster."
