Risk Management
Are You Tar Heel Mission Ready?
In compliance with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Policy on Continuity Planning/Tar Heel Mission Ready Planning, all university departments are required to prepare and maintain a current plan of action for unexpected events which may disrupt their normal operations. Risk Management has purchased the Continuity of Operations planning software – Tar Heel Mission Ready to assist in the planning process.
What is Continuity of Operations?
Continuity of operations, or mission continuity, is the practice of planning for interruptions in order to provide maximum possible service levels.
Purpose?
Eliminate or reduce the impact of a disaster before a disaster occurs in order to provide a safe and healthy learning environment.
What is Tar Heel Mission Ready?
Tar Heel Mission Ready is user-friendly software created specifically for higher education. Tar Heel Mission Ready allows the creation, storage, and updating of departmental plans outside the UNC network. The software walks a user through the planning process, including identifying critical functions, analyzing the impact of disruption to those functions, identifying departmental dependencies, documenting key resources, uploading pertinent documents like call trees, generating action items, analyzing information technology resilience and managing a plan over time.
How Do I Create a Plan?
To get started, please complete the User Registration Form. Once an account has been created and access to your plan granted by the Risk Management team, a notification email will be sent with additional instructions. Tar Heel Mission Ready is accessible via Onyen login. The Risk Management team is available to walk departments through the process.
