Everything the Public Sector Needs for Any Disruption

For government agencies, continuity isn’t optional; it’s a public obligation. When a flood, wildfire, or extended power outage takes an agency offline, the people who depend on those services most are often the ones least able to find alternatives. COOP requirements and FEMA guidelines set a baseline, but the real standard is community trust: can your agency keep functioning when the event it exists to respond to is actively happening? The organizations that maintain that trust aren’t the ones with the most resources; they’re the ones whose plans have been tested before the emergency, not during it.

Agility Makes Governments Resilient

Facility Power Recovery

On-demand generator deployment keeps government facilities, emergency operations centers, courthouses, and public service locations running through any outage. Licensed electricians handle on-site connection and compliance, with guaranteed fuel logistics for extended or regionally widespread events.

Emergency Operations Workspace

When a primary facility becomes inaccessible or unsafe, fully equipped workspace is deployed to your location or a designated alternate site. Staff responsible for emergency coordination, public communication, permitting, and essential services stay operational without improvising a command post.

Technology & Data Recovery

Restoration of case management systems, permitting platforms, public records infrastructure, and agency networks. Critical data and system configurations are recovered fast so staff can resume serving constituents and meeting reporting obligations without extended gaps.

Communications Continuity

Backup connectivity via satellite, 5G, and LTE keeps agency staff, partner organizations, and the public informed when primary systems go down. Emergency notifications reach employees and stakeholders across SMS, phone, and email, which is critical when coordinating a response across multiple departments or jurisdictions.

Community-Facing Service Continuity

Essential public services like benefits administration, licensing, permitting, and court operations carry expectations that don’t pause for a disaster. Agility’s recovery planning helps agencies prioritize which services must stay online first, and provides the workspace, power, and technology to make that possible even when the primary facility isn’t.

COOP Compliance & Testing

Annual continuity testing, tabletop exercises, and documentation aligned to COOP requirements and FEMA guidelines. A dedicated Agility Recovery Manager supports your program year-round and helps translate compliance obligations into practiced, deployable procedures that hold up under real conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What business continuity requirements apply to government agencies? +

Federal agencies must comply with FEMA Continuity of Operations (COOP) guidelines and NIST Special Publication 800-34. State and local governments follow similar frameworks, often tied to FEMA preparedness requirements for grant eligibility. Agility Recovery helps public sector organizations build and test programs that meet COOP and related federal and state continuity standards.

How does Agility Recovery support government agencies during a disaster? +

Agility Recovery deploys temporary workspace, backup power, and replacement technology to government agencies and public sector facilities within 24 to 48 hours of a declared disruption. This allows agencies to maintain essential public services — permitting, records access, emergency coordination — while primary facilities are repaired.

Can a government agency continue serving the public after losing its primary building? +

Yes. Agility Recovery provides mobile workspace solutions that can be deployed to a government facility's parking area or an alternate site, allowing staff to continue public-facing operations. Pre-configured environments for records management, communications, and administrative processing are available for rapid deployment.

How does business continuity planning help public sector organizations maintain community trust? +

When a government agency can continue operating after a disaster — keeping emergency lines open, processing permits, and serving residents — it demonstrates the operational resilience that communities depend on. Agility Recovery helps public sector organizations develop and test plans that maintain essential services even when facilities or systems are compromised.

Does Agility Recovery help agencies meet FEMA COOP requirements? +

Yes. Agility Recovery's planning, testing, and physical recovery services support FEMA Continuity of Operations requirements. Program documentation, test records, and gap analysis reports generated through Agility's services can be used to demonstrate compliance with federal and state continuity standards.
