ISRUPTION OF
PERATIONS
This section sets the tone for the chapter and introduces the notion that the devolution of
operations plan will provide coverage for your organization beyond the coverage your
organization’s Continuity of Operations Plan provides. Sample text for this section includes:
A flexible and scalable response is required to address the spectrum of events that could disrupt
operations at the [Organization Name] primary operating facility. The [Organization Name]
Devolution of Operations Plan, in conjunction with the [Organization Name] Continuity of
Operations Plan, ensures such a response capability. While the Continuity of Operations Plan
addresses a wide variety of potentially disruptive scenarios, the Devolution of Operations Plan
focuses on catastrophic and/or widespread incidents and events that may occur with or without
warning and render our facilities and personnel incapable of or unavailable to perform our
essential functions (See Appendix A for all [Organization Name] essential functions).

This section identifies the primary facility or facilities to which your organization will devolve
operations during a devolution of operations and sets the requirement for regularly revisiting the
personnel, equipment, and resources available at each facility to ensure adequacy. The location
information should include city and State or territory only. Appendix C will include full location
information for your organization. Sample text for this section includes:
The primary [Organization Name] devolution of operations sites are located in [enter location
or locations of your devolution sites here]. [Organization Name] offices and divisions and
Devolution of Operations POCs shall annually, and after an actual event or a Test, Training and
Exercise (TT&E) event, review the devolution of operations personnel, equipment, and resources
at each facility to ensure adequacy. See Appendix B for additional information on devolution
resource requirements and Appendix C for additional information on the devolution sites.

CTIVATION
ONDITIONS
The decision to devolve operations stems from an incident or potential incident that involves
your organization’s primary operating facility and prevents your employees from relocating to
an alternate operating facility to perform the essential functions of your organization. This
section identifies the active and passive measures or triggers likely to cause a devolution of
operations. Sample text for this section includes:
The [Organization Name] Devolution of Operations Plan may activate due to either an active or
a passive measure or trigger, depending on the catastrophe.

EASURES
Active measures or “triggers” are those that initiate Devolution of Operations Plan activation
because of a deliberate decision by senior [Organization Name] authorities. In this situation,
the Director, [Organization Name], or designated successor activates the Devolution of
Operations Plan based on an identified threat to [enter location here]. The [enter primary
