The objectives section should include the objectives of the organization’s devolution of
operations plan, in order of priority, if possible. Sample text for this section includes:
The Devolution of Operations Plan addresses a key component of continuity of operations
planning identified in Federal Continuity Directive 1, Federal Executive Branch National
Continuity Program and Requirements; dated February 2008, in the event that devolution of
operations procedures are necessary. At a minimum, the plan will meet the following objectives:
1. Identify prioritized essential functions and determine necessary resources to facilitate
their immediate and seamless transfer to a devolution site;
2. Include a roster identifying organization points-of-contact (POCs) at the designated
devolution site with overall responsibility for the fully equipped and trained personnel
who will perform essential functions and activities when the devolution option of
continuity is activated;
3. Identify the likely activation protocols (triggers) that would initiate or activate the
Devolution of Operations Plan;
4. Specify how and when direction and control of organization operations will transfer to
the devolution of operations site(s);
5. List necessary resources (people, equipment, and materials) to perform essential
functions at the devolution site;
6. Establish reliable processes and procedures to acquire resources necessary to continue
essential functions and sustain operations for extended periods; and
7. Establish capabilities to restore or reconstitute organization authorities to their pre-event
status upon termination of devolution.
