Continuity of Operations Plans

Continuity of Operations is defined as the identification of essential functions and how to continue those functions during a wide range of hazard and emergency situations and events. WWCC is currently developing continuity of operations plans for Clarkston Campus and Walla Walla Campus.

Status of Operations
