AAMVA’s new Emergency Resilience and Response Best Practices Guide, created by the Emergency Resilience & Response (ERR) Working Group, is intended to address the need of jurisdiction members to build organizational strength and resiliency through planning and sharing of best practices. This need was particularly highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted all AAMVA jurisdictions. However, the working group considered a wide variety of potential emergencies, including natural and human-made disasters in an all-hazards approach. ERR Working Group members came together to offer different perspectives on the same issue, maintaining operations in the face of an emergency. Each member brings diverse experiences with the unique set of risks facing his or her jurisdiction. This project provides a unique opportunity for these diverse stakeholders to come together to create a holistic approach to emergency preparedness for motor vehicle and driver licensing administrators. This best practices document is a foundational document to support jurisdictions as they prepare for emergencies and plan for continuity of operations. It is intended to provide planning basics, invite more nuanced discussions of risks and issues unique to each jurisdiction, and encourage members to proactively prepare for emergencies so they may continue to provide essential services during a crisis. The ERR Working Group has created it as a resource for members in the hope that it will inspire regular and thoughtful conversations about how best to create organization resilience and to make sure jurisdictions are as ready as possible for any future emergency.
