4. Dialogic Communicator GOAL: To provide rapid automatic messaging to a large group of people. OBJECTIVE: To support the COOP program by maintaining an accurate personnel notification, and accountability process, for use during an exercise or real life scenario. Each member, listed in the scenario, will be called on all numbers listed in the programmed sequence, until the message is received or the scenario duration ends: Days (0800-1700) Email, Work, Cell, Pager, Home Nights/Weekends Email, Home, Cell, Pager, Work � For each person called, if no acknowledgement is received (by entering the last five digits of your office desk phone number (PIN) and responding to prompts, as required), the system will wait 30 minutes and then try the sequence (all programmed numbers for that individual) again.

5. Dialogic Communicator The DOE Office of Emergency Operations, Continuity Program, operates a computer-based telephone messaging system (Dialogic Communicator) for emergency notification purposes. The system is capable of rapidly contacting multiple personnel, verifying identity, and providing a pre-recorded message. The Communicator will be activated if a situation arises requiring rapid notification to some or all of the staff. The system is primarily used to support the Department�s Continuity of Operations (COOP) Program. The system will be tested quarterly to ensure it will perform as designed and to familiarize participants with the process.

6. Dialogic Communicator When activated, the Dialogic system will call, in sequence, your email, home, cell, pager, and office phone numbers (after hours). During business hours, it will contact you by email, office phone, cell phone, pager, home phone. Once contact is made, the system will stop calling. You might receive multiple calls, since the system calls all the phone numbers that are programmed into the system. To receive the message, you will be requested to enter your PIN number, which is generally the last 5 digits of your desk phone number (your private line for those who have multiple or common phone numbers). If you have more than one phone number, it is very important that you remember which phone number you have listed as your desk phone number on the Dialogic Form, since this number will be your access code. If the system reaches an answering machine or pager, it will leave a message requesting you to call a designated phone number to receive the message.

7. Dialogic Communicator If the system receives no response after the first round of calls, it will wait a designated period of time (currently set at 30 minutes) and try again. The system is currently programmed to try two times and then stop. The message remains active for 4 hours (if you return the call after this time, there will be no message to retrieve). It is important you listen to the entire message and follow system prompts. Please note that if your name appears on more than one call list, it is possible you will get multiple messages, or the same message more than one time during a notification process. You will also receive a message to report your COOP COGCON Level status. You must email your status to NA-40COOP@nnsa.doe.gov.

8. Dialogic Communicator The Dialogic system keeps a record of the phone calls made and the results. Thus, we will be able to tell who received the message and who did not, in case additional action is necessary for those who have not received or responded to the message. After each test, we follow up to address any problems that have been identified, in order to improve our contact rate. Please note that because calls placed by the Dialogic computer are sent through the DOE switchboard, which does not contain caller ID information, some �Telezapper� equipment and call intercept services from your telephone company (if you subscribe), may block the call to your home number. In these cases, the ability to reach you through your cell phone or pager assumes even greater importance. For this system to be effective, we must have accurate phone numbers. If your phone numbers change, it is very important that you contact your COOP Coordinator and give them the updated information.

9. Dialogic Communicator The system message is programmed to remain available for 4-6 hours. If the message has not been received by that time, the system will record that the individual was not reached. Quarterly Dialogic Tests will be performed based on the information provided by the POCs. This means that the information provided must be accurate, to maintain accountability of all Continuity Responders. The list of COOP Coordinators is provided at the end of this presentation.

10. Dialogic Communicator Corrections to the Dialogic Information should be sent via Entrust to Vicki Rand. You can also e-mail the information to the Dialogic Mailbox at NA-40DialogicCOOP, but messages to that mailbox will not be Entrusted. These corrections will be made in the Dialogic System for accuracy of future notifications. If you have any questions concerning this process, please contact Vicki Rand at (301) 903-1407.

21. DOE O 150.1, Continuity Programs A Departmental Continuity Program must be established to: Ensure the Department can continue to support National Essential Functions (NEFs); Ensure the Department can continue to perform Mission Essential Functions (MEFs), Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs), and Essential Supporting Activities (ESAs); Ensure readiness by addressing, at a minimum, the basics of continuity planning (e.g., determination of MEFs, PMEFs, ESAs; orders of succession; delegations of authority; communication requirements; human capital; and vital records); Ensure the requirements established in NSPD-51/HSPD-20, and the program elements specified in Federal Continuity Directives are addressed; and address preparedness; and Address response to epidemic and pandemic events.

22. DOE O 150.1, Continuity Programs Essential Functions National Essential Functions (NEFs) � A set of Government functions necessary to lead and sustain the country during a catastrophic emergency, and must be supported through COOP and COG capabilities. Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs) � DOE functions that must be performed to support or implement the performance of NEFs before, during, and in the aftermath of a continuity event. Mission Essential Functions (MEFs) � The limited set of the Department of Energy�s Government functions that must be continued after a disruption of normal activities. MEFs provide vital services, exercise civil authority, maintain the safety of the general public and sustain the industrial and economic base during disruption of normal operations. MEFs support the accomplishment of Departmental PMEFs. Essential Supporting Activities (ESAs) � Activities performed by the Department of Energy that support the accomplishment of the Department�s MEFs and PMEFs.

23. Primary Mission Essential Functions DOE #1: Maintain the safety and security of nuclear materials in the Department of Energy Complex at fixed sites and in transit. DOE #2: Respond to a nuclear incident, both domestically and internationally, caused by terrorist activity, natural disaster or accident, including by mobilizing the resources to support these efforts. DOE #3: Continuously monitor and manage the National energy infrastructure including the drawdown of Strategic Petroleum Reserve and/or the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve. Respond to energy infrastructure disruptions to ensure rapid recovery of energy supplies.

24. DOE O 150.1, Continuity Programs The Order has several Requirements and one of them is: DOE O 150.1 requires Program/Staff offices, Field Elements, and Sites to develop a comprehensive COOP Plan which includes Pandemic planning The Order also levies a responsibility to annually review and update their COOP Plan The Order also requires the initial and subsequent updated Plans be distributed to the Continuity Program Office

30. Devolution DOE O 150.1 defines Devolution as: The capability to transfer statutory authority and responsibility for essential functions from the agency�s primary operating staff and facilities to other employees and facilities, and to sustain that operational capability for an extended period of time HQ Program/Staff Offices should ensure explicit coordination with their devolution location Program/Staff Offices will maintain an up-to-date list of its devolution site POCs If your site is a HQ devolution site, ensure support and requested information is provided to your HQ Program/Staff Office Program/Staff Offices will provide their devolution POC information to the Continuity Program Office

31. Continuity Technical Assistance Program Purpose The Continuity Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) Gives the field the tools necessary to assist in assessing, validating and improving their COOP programs Provides a systematic approach to assess continuity programs within the Department designed to help the Department�s organizations improve their COOP Programs Status Final version issued; included on CD

32. Continuity Technical Assistance Program Continuity Assessment Tool (CAT) Based upon DOE O 150.1, the CAT modified where necessary to make it applicable for DOE Program/Staff Office/Field Element use Each item in the CAT does not necessarily apply to every location Defines each element using continuity activities and supporting tasks Scoring system allows a DOE Program/Staff Office/Field Element to demonstrate progress from one assessment to the next Overall assessment for each of these continuity elements will be based on the individual task

33. Continuity Technical Assistance Program The DOE CTAP is designed to ensure compliance and identify needed improvements to DOE/NNSA COOP Programs through a three step process: Self-assessments Technical Assistance Visits (TAV) External assessments

34. Continuity Technical Assistance Program Self Assessment The conduct of the self assessment is accomplished by reviewing the COOP key elements outlined in DOE O 150.1 The CAT is a series of checklists that address each of the elements of the COOP Program and should be used to conduct the self-assessment.
