BOLDplanning, a Division of Agility

COOP and COG planning help ensure an organization’s essential functions (ESFs) maintain continuity during a critical situation. BOLDplanning’s expert planners hold professional credentials such as certified business continuity professional (CBCP), professional continuity practitioner (PCP), master continuity practitioner (MCP), and IAEM certified emergency manager (CEM), and have real-world experience. The online planning platform streamlines the COOP/COG planning process. 

BOLDplanning’s experienced planners and responders who specialize in EOP are ready to help organizations that need to update EOPs to match the latest guidance and planning requirements or create an EOP from scratch. BOLDplanning creates customized EOPs to meet the specific needs of each jurisdiction and state-level planning standards. 

The BOLDplanning team has led hundreds of jurisdictions through the plan development and FEMA review process following the enactment of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA2000) through HMP. Its tested and proven mitigation planning program is designed for local, tribal, and state governments, as well as school districts and universities. This comprehensive solution, which includes advanced GIS capabilities and grant-writing services, helps communities plan for mitigation-friendly growth and sustainable development. 

"Professionalism defines BOLDplanning. The goal of our agency was to get the very best work on an extremely important and sensitive project. The level of communication and cooperation provided by BOLDplanning is second to none, and the invaluable services they provide Calhoun County demonstrate the highest quality commitment. These are normal operating procedures for the staff at BOLDplanning."

Our team tried and failed to put a COOP plan in place. We were not satisfied with the results, and decided to look for help. BOLDplanning offered both training and expert guidance. The online plan template gave us a step-by-step process to build the COOP plan. Our plan went together in less than six months. The plan is easy to maintain, and keep updated. Our partnership with BOLDplanning took us from frustration to success.
