• Corporate Authors:
  Association of Public Health Laboratories (U.S.) ; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
• Description:
  The Guidelines for the Public Health Laboratory Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) builds upon the 2007 Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) COOP Guidelines, as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Continuity of Operation Plan Template and Instructions for Federal Departments and Agencies (February 2011).
  
  In 2007, the Emergency Preparedness and Response Committee, now the Public Health Preparedness and Response (PHPR) Committee, of APHL was charged by the board of directors to develop the Guidelines for the Public Health Laboratory Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) to assist state public health laboratories in developing a COOP to ensure continuation of their essential public health activities during events that may disrupt normal operations.
  
  In 2011, the APHL Emergency Management Subcommittee, under the leadership of the PHPR Committee, was charged with revising and updating the Guidelines for the Public Health Laboratory Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP).
