Make AWA contingency planning work in a tech-dependent facility.
The USDA Animal Welfare Act Contingency Plan Rule is about one thing: proving animal care continues when normal operations don’t. AnzenSage helps you connect the plan to real-world dependencies—life-support systems, building controls, vendors, and cyber-physical failure modes—without turning your team into an IT department.
What the rule is asking you to prove
You have a written plan, your people know their roles, and you can maintain animal care during disruptions (power, HVAC, water, staffing, weather… and yes, system outages).
Where most plans quietly fail
Plans assume mechanical breakdown + perfect staffing. Real life includes locked remote access, vendor delays, visibility loss, and OT systems that don’t fail politely.
What we do differently
We map dependencies → failure modes → practical response steps so your contingency plan is actionable, trainable, and reviewable—without extra drama.
How AnzenSage supports your plan
Pick what you need. These can stand alone or be combined into a lightweight, facility-friendly program that supports training and annual review.
AWA Contingency Plan Readiness Review
Gap check your current plan against real operational dependencies and likely disruption scenarios.
Life-Support Systems Dependency Map
Document what relies on what (power, HVAC, water, controls, sensors, vendors)—and where single points of failure live.
Cyber-Physical Scenario Workshop
Tabletop exercises tailored to your environment: loss of visibility, loss of control, vendor delays, safe manual fallback.
Training Refresh for Non-IT Staff
Role-based, plain-language training aligned to your plan so responsibilities are understood and repeatable.
Annual Review & Update Support
Lightweight annual refresh: update scenarios, validate contacts/vendors, confirm roles, and produce review documentation.
A simple way to start
Identify the real dependencies
We map the systems that keep animals safe—and what happens when they fail or become unavailable.
Turn risks into response steps
We translate “something went wrong” into clear roles, actions, and fallback procedures.
Train, document, review
We support training and annual review so your plan is usable, not just printable.
Contingency planning isn’t a binder. It’s a promise: animal care holds steady even when systems don’t. If your plan doesn’t account for modern tech dependencies, we should talk.
