EMGT 310: Continuity of Operations Planning and Implementation

Continuity of Operations Planning and Implementation covers building community resiliency — including mitigating cyberattacks and pandemic events — across government and industry.

What EMGT 310 covers

An exploration of the process for developing, implementing, exercising, and evaluating continuity of operations for both government and industry. The goal is to introduce continuity planning in the public and private sectors of our society, specifically the role continuity planning plays in building community resiliency and how it interacts with emergency management programs and planning.

Topics include the role of continuity planning in the nation's enduring constitutional government, ways that continuity planning makes communities and organizations more disaster resilient, the planning and operational components of continuity plans and programs, and the roles of continuity planning in mitigating the effects of cyberattacks and pandemic events.

Writing tips for EMGT 310

Follow the assignment instructions and rubric line by line

UMGC assignments for EMGT 310 are graded against a specific rubric or grading criteria your instructor provides — every requirement has to be visibly addressed. Skipping a requirement because it seems minor is one of the most common reasons a strong submission loses points.

Ground recommendations in a real or realistic incident, agency, or policy

EMGT 310 is rarely satisfied by abstract theory recitation — evaluators want to see emergency management or homeland security concepts applied to an actual or realistic incident, agency, or policy scenario, with specifics, not generic best-practice statements.

Cite the specific law, policy, or regulatory framework, not a general impression

EMGT 310 grades whether you cite the actual applicable law, policy, or regulatory framework governing a scenario — a general sense that a response "should" happen a certain way, without the specific legal or policy basis, does not satisfy the rubric.

Why students seek help with EMGT 310

Students sometimes design a continuity plan without addressing the specific modern threat type (cyberattack or pandemic) EMGT 310 explicitly covers — the rubric typically wants that modern-threat dimension addressed, not a generic disaster plan.
