Vialet, Chairman of the Committee on Education and Workforce Development; Honorable Senator Avery L. Lewis, Vice-Chair; other distinguished members of the Committee; esteemed colleagues of the 36th Legislature; fellow testifiers; and members of the listening and viewing public: My name is Craig F. Benjamin, and I serve as the Executive Director of the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM). It is both an honor and a privilege to appear before you today. I extend my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to present testimony on the status of summer repair and maintenance projects, as well as the overall readiness of our public schools for the 2025–2026 academic year. In addition, I will provide updates on critical infrastructure initiatives, including electrical system upgrades, generator installations, and other projects funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). I will also outline the processes we have implemented to strengthen accountability, improve efficiency, and enhance resilience across the Bureau. Accompanying me today to provide a comprehensive overview of our current efforts, upcoming initiatives, and long-term goals for the continued improvement of our schools are:  Mr. Paul Harrigan, Assistant Director of School Maintenance  Ms. Cynthia Allen, Assistant Director of School Construction  Dr. Charmaine Mayers, Chief Financial Officer  Mr. Yauncey Milligan, School Facilities Manager, St. Croix  Additional support staff, present in the chambers I. BSCM Process Updates Since our inception just 10 months ago, the Bureau has worked not only to address urgent maintenance needs but also to put systems in place that will ensure long-term efficiency and resilience.  Work Order System (Attachment A) – Tracks every maintenance request, ensures accountability, and improves transparency.  Hurricane Preparedness Plan (Attachment B) – Provides comprehensive storm readiness and recovery protocols.  Maintenance Contingency Plan (Attachment C) – Establishes rapid-response measures for facility failures.  District Project Tracking Spreadsheet (Attachment D) – Comprehensive listing of ongoing, completed, and planned projects in the St. Thomas/St. John and St. Croix Districts. Includes contractor, cost, status, completion dates, category, funding source, contingency plan, and notes; serves as the detailed reference backing the District Project Updates in this testimony.  Workforce Pipeline – BSCM is coordinating with the Skill Center, CTECH, and My Brother’s Workshop to develop internship programs. 4 Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 Stakeholder Engagement On August 26, 2025, the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) met with principals in the St. Thomas/St. John district during their quarterly meeting to introduce the implementation of a tiered call-and-response system (see Attachment [E]). The system was developed to strengthen accountability, improve response times, and provide greater transparency in addressing facility-related concerns. Emergencies are prioritized for immediate action to safeguard the health and safety of students and staff, while routine maintenance items are formally logged, monitored, and tracked to completion within the work-order system. Principals shared their concerns and asked pertinent questions; the Bureau acknowledged gaps, accepted responsibility, and presented concrete solutions. Feedback underscored that the core challenge has been outstanding repairs in addition to delayed responses. The Bureau is adjusting workflows accordingly to ensure timely resolution and clear communication. To ensure consistency across both districts, BSCM is coordinating with the St. Croix Superintendent’s Office to convene the same session. The St. Croix district held its quarterly principals’ meeting in early August; we are now confirming a date within the next two weeks to present the tiered call-and-response system and answer questions, ensuring the St. Croix principals are afforded an equal opportunity to be presented to by the Bureaus key staff members regarding the tiered call and response system. II. ADDRESSING CHALLENGES Many of our schools are aged—Julius Sprauve School, built in 1955, is now 70 years old, while Claude O. Markoe Elementary, at 67 years old, proliferates the difficulty of maintaining older facilities. Even our newer schools, such as the St. Croix Educational Complex (1995) and Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School (2003) have deteriorated prematurely and require immediate upkeep. Our progress was slowed by funding disruptions. The removal of $2,000,000 from our account encumbered all capital funds and halted our projects. ARPA-funded projects were temporarily frozen when federal partners pulled back funding. Following the Governor’s intervention, $1,420,261.12 was paid to vendors last week, allowing us to resume critical projects such as emergency mold remediation, roof repairs, and electrical upgrades. We remain committed to restoring and maintaining safe, healthy, and fully operational learning environments across all schools. Cross-Agency Walkthroughs & Corrective Actions Following the cross-agency walkthroughs with DOH, Fire Service, and DPNR, the BSCM initiated campus-specific work orders and fast-tracked life-safety and kitchen compliance items while advancing larger summer scopes. Completed and in-flight corrective actions include: plumbing upgrades/repairs at Claude O. Markoe, John H. Woodson, and Joseph Sibilly; ADA restroom upgrades at Joseph Gomez; kitchen restroom repairs at Yvonne E. Milliner-Bowsky; and IEK ‘300-series’ bathroom upgrades. We addressed mold and water intrusion flagged during site tours. Woodson’s roof was repaired (Aug 24) and ceiling tiles were removed/replaced as part Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 5 of the ongoing remediation. A territory-wide mold remediation supply contract is being established to enhance future response time. In parallel, to stabilize classroom conditions, A/C units were installed in 26 classrooms at Eulalie Rivera, additional units were installed at Jane E. Tuitt , the CAHS sprung, 9th Grade Academy and 4 units at Gomez kitchen; all paired with electrical-upgrades and ventilation support systems. These actions are in direct response to cross- agency inspection findings across both districts—covering kitchen sanitation and ventilation, life- safety systems, electrical labeling, and other code-compliance issues identified by DOH, Fire Service, and DPNR. Corrective work orders focused on standard remedies: servicing life-safety devices; completing minor electrical corrections; bringing kitchens into compliance, improving ventilation and indoor air quality, and addressing roof drainage issues to reduce moisture recurrences. These corrective efforts are ongoing across both districts and will continue—school by school—until every cited item is correctly addressed, verified, and closed out. John H. Woodson - Mold Remediation: Status and Proactive Measures Classes at John H. Woodson will begin later than planned due to mold conditions and scheduled remediations. Mold remediation is scheduled to be completed by today. As part of this work contaminated ceiling tiles were removed and replaced ensuring classrooms and common areas are ready for learning. In parallel, the roof was repaired on August 24, 2025, addressing the primary source of water intrusion and reducing the likelihood of mold recurrence. To strengthen our territory‑wide response, the Department of Property and Procurement (DPP) is developing a supply contract for mold remediation that will include buildings under the BSCM purview. This contract will enable faster mobilization, standardized scopes of work, and competitive pricing across schools. Proactive Actions for Facilities & Maintenance (to reduce future mold risk):  HVAC preventive maintenance: Change filters per manufacturer guidance (or more frequently in high‑dust areas); clean coils, clear/repair condensation pans and drains.  Rapid water event response: For any leak or water intrusion, stop the source immediately, and dry or remove wet materials within 24–48 hours. Maintain a stocked supply of “water intrusion kits” (HEPA vacuums, dehumidifiers, fans, PPE).  Roof and envelope inspections: After heavy wind driven rain episodes clear roof drains/gutters, check for ponding, and seal penetrations and flashing. Document findings and repairs.  Plumbing checks: Inspect restrooms, mechanical rooms, and other wet rooms weekly for leaks, sweating pipes, or standing water; then repair promptly and retest. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 6 A/C and Electrical Upgrades — Status and Risk Mitigation We recognize ongoing challenges with air conditioners across our schools. During summer maintenance, A/C units were installed in 26 classrooms at Eulalie Rivers. Additional units were also installed at Jane E. Tuitt, CAHS Sprung, 9th grade Academy and 4 large capacity units at Gomez cafeteria. Expanded A/C use requires corresponding electrical capacity upgrades. Because many buildings were designed for natural ventilation, completing electrical upgrades remains essential for the increased capacity of A/C units to operate safely and reliably. In some schools, windows and/or doors have been sealed to retain cool air; therefore if any A/C unit fails, these rooms lack adequate outside air circulation. This presents a ventilation and safety concern and underscores the urgency of completing the electrical work. Immediate Risk Mitigation Measures (until full electrical upgrades are completed):  Prioritized phasing: Begin electrical upgrades first in buildings with sealed rooms, higher occupancy, and critical programs.  Failure response protocol: If an A/C unit fails, staff will (1) open available windows/doors where safe, (2) relocate students to a ventilated space, and (3) notify BSCM for inspection, repair, or replacement.  Preventive maintenance: Implement quarterly inspections utilizing AC supply contract, filter changes, and condensate drain cleaning; maintain an on‑hand inventory of critical spare parts (capacitors, contactors, fan motors, thermostats) to speed repairs.  Staggered restarts/load management: After power restorations, stagger A/C unit start‑ups to prevent breaker trips and reduce peak load; prohibit use of extension cords or unapproved power strips for A/C units.  Interim ventilation support: Where operable windows are unavailable, provide portable outside‑air fans or temporary, code‑compliant ventilation solutions; maintain a limited pool of portable A/C units for short‑term use.  Communication: Provide principals with a concise checklist and a direct escalation line to Facilities, and share updates. Restrooms and Plumbing Reliability Upgrades completed during the summer:  Claude O. Markoe — plumbing upgrade.  John H. Woodson — plumbing upgrade.  Joseph Sibilly — plumbing repairs.  Joseph Gomez — ADA‑compliant restrooms upgraded.  Bowsky — kitchen restroom repairs completed.  Ivanna Eudora Kean — 300 series bathrooms upgraded. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 7 Ongoing Restroom Issues: At Pearle B. Larsen, work originally slated for contracting will now be performed in-house due to planned demolition and construction; two adult restrooms are out of service because of sewer drain issues and remain under assessment, while all others are operable. Juanita Gardine has shifted from contracted work to in-house repairs; all restrooms are operable, and a previously condemned wing will be brought back into service in-house. At Lew Muckle, one female restroom repair under contract is approximately 20% complete; all other restrooms are operable and are being upgraded in-house. Ricardo Richards reports all restrooms operable, with minor in-house upgrades underway. At Central High, a pre-Bureau contract was terminated after two restrooms were completed; seven restrooms remain—four will be repaired in-house due to the school’s planned demolition and construction, and three will be contracted out due to the severity of the damage; six restrooms are currently operable. Alfredo Andrews moved from planned contracted work to in-house repairs; all children’s restrooms are operable, and one adult restroom is out of service awaiting parts for an in-house repair. John H. Woodson and Eulalie Rivera have completed contracted repairs, and all restrooms are operable. Claude O. Marko completed all restroom repairs in-house, with all restrooms operable. St. Croix Educational Complex has two restrooms out of service, and CTECH has two restrooms scheduled for in-house repair. These projects are targeted for completion by the end of September; however, completion is contingent upon receiving flush valves and other required materials. Since schools reopened, both CTECH and Lew Muckle experienced pump‑related issues. At CTECH, a pump failed. At Lew Muckle, a breaker tripped, and the pump failed following a power outage at the onset of Hurricane Erin. To mitigate risk and ensure continuity of services, we will:  Conduct weekly inspections of restroom and plumbing systems.  Maintain an on‑hand inventory of spare pumps.  Establish an emergency contract for ADA‑compliant portable restroom trailers to provide temporary facilities during plumbing repairs, prevent service disruptions, and avoid school closures. Our priority is to keep schools safely open for teaching and learning. For a clear picture of progress, the next two sections summarize a high level overview of the completed and active work by school in St. Thomas/St. John (STT) and St. Croix (STX), ordered by our life-safety-first priorities.

IX. CLOSE‑OUT STATEMENT — SUMMER 2025 LESSONS As we conclude our first summer operating as a department, we recognize areas where we can improve. We will adjust our processes, strengthen communication, and reinforce the day‑to‑day practices that keep schools running. Our schools are aging and demand daily attention; we intend to provide it. The following commitments reflect what we learned and how we will respond:  Communication: Establish a single point of contact per campus, principal briefings, and a clear escalation ladder for urgent issues.  Transparency: Publish a concise monthly progress summary so the community can see what was completed, what is underway, and what’s next.  Procurement & Scheduling: Bundle similar scopes, pre‑stage long‑lead items earlier in the year, and use task‑order contracts where appropriate to accelerate repairs. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 13  Preventive Maintenance: Lock in a year‑round PM calendar (HVAC, roofs, electrical) with checklists and documented close‑outs; expand filter/condensate line maintenance ahead of peak heat.  Readiness for Weather: Pre‑position dehumidifiers, portable cooling, tarps, and pumps in each district; run spring and fall readiness checks with principals.  Quality & Safety: Use punch‑list checkouts where applicable; reinforce lock‑out/tag‑out and contractor safety requirements.  Training & Support: Provide refresher training for custodial and site staff on basic A/C care (filters, drains) and reporting standards.  Community Trust: Hold brief, regular updates with school leadership and share timelines so families and staff know what to expect. We appreciate the Committee’s oversight and the community’s patience. Our focus remains unwavering: to maintain our schools daily, repair them promptly, and replace infrastructure methodically so that students and teachers can learn and work in safe, comfortable classrooms. We extend our sincere gratitude to the staff of the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance for their dedication and hard work in carrying out this mission. Thank you for the opportunity to present this testimony. My team and I stand ready to respond to any questions you may have. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 14 Attachment A. Work Order System Outline Purpose This policy establishes a standardized process for reporting, prioritizing, and responding to maintenance issues at public schools Territory Wide. The goal is to improve accountability, communication, and response times while ensuring the safety and functionality of school facilities. Background Since its establishment in October 2024, the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance has assessed existing systems and identified the need for a more organized and transparent process for handling maintenance requests. Previously, work orders were often routed directly to the Maintenance Manager, creating inefficiencies and delays. To address this, BSCM is implementing a Facilities Call System that categorizes issues by emergency and ensures the appropriate response. Levels Level 1 – Routine Maintenance  Examples: light bulb replacement, minor leaks, painting, broken tiles, door adjustments.  Response Time: Within 1–3 weeks, scheduled during preventive maintenance days depending on difficulty and material needs.  Reporting: Entered into the Work Order Log/Form by the school’s designated contact. Level 2 – Important  Examples: one classroom AC outage, clogged toilets (with others working), minor electrical trip.  Response Time: Within 24–72 hours. can differ based on material availability and emergency contracts  Reporting: Logged in the Work Order System by school contact. Level 3 – Urgent  Examples: multiple bathrooms out of service, roof leak in classroom, partial school power outage.  Response Time: Same-day response required. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 15  Reporting: Principal or designated staff calls the BSCM Emergency Line. Manager assigns the crew immediately. Level 4 – Critical / Emergency  Examples: entire school without power or water, fire hazard, major sewer backup, structural failure.  Response Time: Immediate response (within hours). All available staff and/or contractors dispatched.  Reporting: Principal calls the BSCM Line. Both Maintenance Manager and Superintendent notified. Roles & Responsibilities  Principals / School Leaders: o Report issues according to the levels. o Designate one point-of-contact for routine work order submissions.  BSCM Maintenance Team: o Respond within required timelines. o Record actions taken in the Work Order Log. o Provide updates to principals on progress.  BSCM Management: o Monitor requests, track completion, and ensure accountability. o Submit monthly reports to the Superintendent and principals summarizing open/closed work orders. Accountability & Communication  Transparency: All work orders will be tracked in a central system accessible to BSCM staff and reviewed regularly with principals.  Monthly Check-Ins: Principals will receive a summary of outstanding and completed requests.  Continuous Improvement: After a 60-day pilot period, the policy will be reviewed and adjusted based on feedback. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 16 Roles at a Glance  Principals/Designees: Submit requests in the WO system; confirm resolution.  Facilities Maintenance Manager: Assigns work, sets priorities/ETAs, validates closeout and funding codes.  Assistant Director of Maintenance (and, as applicable, Assistant Director of Construction): Oversight, SLA enforcement, escalation.  Facilities Coordinators: Live field updates (status, photos, parts).  Maintenance Employees: Perform work only from assigned WOs; update status in real time. Process (5 Steps) 1. Submit – Principal/designee enters request in WO system. 2. Assign – Facilities Maintenance Manager assigns team, priority, and due date. 3. Execute – Maintenance employees complete work and update WO live. 4. Oversee – Leadership monitors progress and removes blockers. 5. Close – Document final notes/photos, cause/remedy codes, time & materials, and funding string. Emergency: Verbal dispatch allowed, but WO must be created and fully documented within 24 hours. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 17 Attachment B – Hurricane Preparedness Plan Executive Summary The Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) has developed a comprehensive Hurricane Preparedness Plan to safeguard employees, protect Bureau assets, and secure school facilities before, during, and after a storm. This plan applies to all BSCM divisions and facilities, and establishes clear roles, responsibilities, and procedures for both leadership and staff. Key components include pre-storm readiness (securing buildings, fueling vehicles and generators, protecting records), emergency coordination with VIDE, VITEMA, and FEMA, and post-storm recovery with rapid damage assessments, emergency procurement, and cost tracking for reimbursement. The plan also emphasizes continuity of operations, ensuring that schools and Bureau functions can resume quickly, even if facilities are damaged. Updated annually and reinforced through training exercises, this plan strengthens the resilience of the Territory’s schools and ensures faster recovery after severe weather events. Full Protocols 1. Roles and Responsibilities – Defines leadership/staff responsibilities during storms. 2. Pre-Hurricane Preparedness (24–72 Hours Prior) – Facility inspections, securing sites, fuel checks, IT record protection. 3. 24 Hours Prior – Dismiss non-essential staff, confirm shelter-in-place, final generator checks. 4.

Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 18 Attachment C – Maintenance Contingency Plan Executive Summary The Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) has developed a Maintenance Contingency Plan to address sudden failures of critical school facilities. This plan ensures that principals, staff, and students are supported with immediate safety measures and temporary solutions until permanent repairs are completed. It applies to essential systems such as restrooms, air conditioning, electrical power, and classroom structures. Key actions include: immediate response protocols, deployment of temporary solutions (portable restrooms, A/C units, emergency lighting), preparedness measures with stocked equipment and contracts, and clear communication with principals. This contingency framework ensures continuity of school operations during emergencies while safeguarding the health and safety of students and staff. Full Procedures 1. Bathroom Failures – Shut down bathrooms, post signage, deploy portable restroom trailers if repairs are not immediately possible. 2. A/C Unit Failures – Inspect and attempt repair, deploy portable A/C units or fans as needed, provide principal with repair timelines. 3. Electrical Failures – Diagnose and isolate faults, secure unsafe areas, deploy portable lighting, arrange vendor support if needed. 4. Structural Issues – Vacate and secure unsafe areas, post signage and barricades, provide alternate safe spaces on campus. 5. BSCM Support Measures – Maintain stock of portable restrooms, A/C units, signage kits, barricades, and lighting. Keep emergency contracts in place for plumbing, A/C, electrical, and structural repairs. Provide principals with clear updates and escalate unresolved issues daily until resolved. ATTACHMENT A-E Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 13 Attachment A. Work Order System Outline Purpose This policy establishes a standardized process for reporting, prioritizing, and responding to maintenance issues at public schools Territory Wide. The goal is to improve accountability, communication, and response times while ensuring the safety and functionality of school facilities. Background Since its establishment in October 2024, the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance has assessed existing systems and identified the need for a more organized and transparent process for handling maintenance requests. Previously, work orders were often routed directly to the Maintenance Manager, creating inefficiencies and delays. To address this, BSCM is implementing a Facilities Call System that categorizes issues by emergency and ensures the appropriate response. Levels Level 1 – Routine Maintenance • Examples: light bulb replacement, minor leaks, painting, broken tiles, door adjustments. • Response Time: Within 1–3 weeks, scheduled during preventive maintenance days depending on difficulty and material needs. • Reporting: Entered into the Work Order Log/Form by the school’s designated contact. Level 2 – Important • Examples: one classroom AC outage, clogged toilets (with others working), minor electrical trip. • Response Time: Within 24–72 hours. can differ based on material availability and emergency contracts • Reporting: Logged in the Work Order System by school contact. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 14 Level 3 – Urgent • Examples: multiple bathrooms out of service, roof leak in classroom, partial school power outage. • Response Time: Same-day response required. • Reporting: Principal or designated staff calls the BSCM Emergency Line. Manager assigns the crew immediately. Level 4 – Critical / Emergency • Examples: entire school without power or water, fire hazard, major sewer backup, structural failure. • Response Time: Immediate response (within hours). All available staff and/or contractors dispatched. • Reporting: Principal calls the BSCM Line. Both Maintenance Manager and Superintendent notified. Roles & Responsibilities • Principals / School Leaders: o Report issues according to the levels. o Designate one point-of-contact for routine work order submissions. • BSCM Maintenance Team: o Respond within required timelines. o Record actions taken in the Work Order Log. o Provide updates to principals on progress. • BSCM Management: o Monitor requests, track completion, and ensure accountability. o Submit monthly reports to the Superintendent and principals summarizing open/closed work orders. Accountability & Communication • Transparency: All work orders will be tracked in a central system accessible to BSCM staff and reviewed regularly with principals. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 15 • Monthly Check-Ins: Principals will receive a summary of outstanding and completed requests. • Continuous Improvement: After a 60-day pilot period, the policy will be reviewed and adjusted based on feedback. Roles at a Glance • Principals/Designees: Submit requests in the WO system; confirm resolution. • Facilities Maintenance Manager: Assigns work, sets priorities/ETAs, validates closeout and funding codes. • Assistant Director of Maintenance (and, as applicable, Assistant Director of Construction): Oversight, SLA enforcement, escalation. • Facilities Coordinators: Live field updates (status, photos, parts). • Maintenance Employees: Perform work only from assigned WOs; update status in real time. Process (5 Steps) 1. Submit – Principal/designee enters request in WO system. 2. Assign – Facilities Maintenance Manager assigns team, priority, and due date. 3. Execute – Maintenance employees complete work and update WO live. 4. Oversee – Leadership monitors progress and removes blockers. 5. Close – Document final notes/photos, cause/remedy codes, time & materials, and funding string. Emergency: Verbal dispatch allowed, but WO must be created and fully documented within 24 hours. Testimony for Education and Work Force Development Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) August 29, 2025 16 Attachment B – Hurricane Preparedness Plan Executive Summary The Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance (BSCM) has developed a comprehensive Hurricane Preparedness Plan to safeguard employees, protect Bureau assets, and secure school facilities before, during, and after a storm. This plan applies to all BSCM divisions and facilities, and establishes clear roles, responsibilities, and procedures for both leadership and staff. Key components include pre-storm readiness (securing buildings, fueling vehicles and generators, protecting records), emergency coordination with VIDE, VITEMA, and FEMA, and post-storm recovery with rapid damage assessments, emergency procurement, and cost tracking for reimbursement. The plan also emphasizes continuity of operations, ensuring that schools and Bureau functions can resume quickly, even if facilities are damaged. Updated annually and reinforced through training exercises, this plan strengthens the resilience of the Territory’s schools and ensures faster recovery after severe weather events. Full Protocols 1. Roles and Responsibilities – Defines leadership/staff responsibilities during storms. 2. Pre-Hurricane Preparedness (24–72 Hours Prior) – Facility inspections, securing sites, fuel checks, IT record protection. 3. 24 Hours Prior – Dismiss non-essential staff, confirm shelter-in-place, final generator checks. 4. During the Hurricane – Shelter in safe locations, maintain communication. 5. Post-Hurricane Recovery (24–48 Hours) – Rapid damage assessments, preliminary reports, urgent repairs, FEMA coordination. 6. Supplies and Resources – Portable restrooms, A/C units, PPE, emergency lighting, food/water. 7. Continuity of Operations – Alternate work sites, remote work options, recovery prioritization. 8. Annual Review and Training – Seasonal updates, staff tabletop exercises, vendor contact refresh.
