2. Three Distinct Initiatives Continuity of Operations Application Portfolio Inventory IT Disaster Recovery LDRPS allows us to leverage efforts between these initiatives.
3. Definitions COOP – Continuity of Operations. Essential Functions – Functions that enable government Agencies to provide vital services, exercise civil authority, maintain the safety and well being of the general populace and sustain the industrial/economic base during an emergency. API – Application Portfolio Inventory.
4. Essential Functions Department/Agency identifies its essential functions. Essential functions can be represented as processes in the root-level plan.
5. Processes Bureau A Bureau B Bureau C Bureaus within the Department/Agency identify business processes which support the essential functions either directly or indirectly. Processes will typically identify essential functions (and other processes) as downstream dependencies and applications (and other processes) as upstream dependencies.

8. Applications Department/Agency API users (IT personnel) maintain application information in LDRPS. Interdependencies between applications should be identified by API users.
9. API Data The Application screen was customized to hold API data.
11. Hardware IT personnel maintain Systems Disaster Recovery plans for restoring servers and other hardware systems. Servers will typically identify applications as downstream dependencies.
