State of Kansas COOP TTX
Module 2
Monday April 20, 2009 at 8:00AM
The Morning After
Monday morning has revealed complete destruction of downtown Topeka.
Fortunately, all of your personnel have been accounted for have been
told not to report to work until given further instructions.
Unfortunately, your offices are completely destroyed or inaccessible.
Many roads in Topeka are impassable and power and communications are
out in the affected area, but outside the path of destruction there
are no adverse affects from the tornado and it is “business as usual.”
The public has already begun clamoring for information and the media
has been running constant reports about the complete shutdown of the
State Government due to the damage. The Governor has scheduled a press
conference to declare a State of Emergency and assure the public that
the State Government is activating their COOPs and will be up and
running in a matter of days. Your boss has called and told you to get
things up and running as soon as possible, and in a stroke of good
luck your alternate facility is open and unaffected.
