Emergency Procurement
How will your agency procure the needed services, equipment, supplies, fixtures, and other needs after a disaster? Will procurement statutes and rules apply? Your Plan should:
- Address the different types of procurement that would be available in a disaster. Include step-by-step instructions. Remember that these instructions should be written for someone that does not normally handle this type of duty. Be sure to research applicable statutes and rules pertaining to procurement of emergency equipment, supplies, fixtures, alternative sites, and other services for disaster recovery or business resumption.
- Consider borrowing from your agency’s business partners, other state agencies, or other entities. Many times others engaged in the same or similar types of business can help out.
