Maintenance Plans

This page describes the requirements for developing a maintenance plan for your site. All EERE Web sites must have a maintenance plan that describes when they will review their content throughout the year.

Developing a Maintenance Plan

Maintenance plans are typically developed when the site is first created. Submit your maintenance plan to the EERE Web Manager with your charter.

There are two types of tasks to consider in your maintenance plan: content-related maintenance and technical maintenance. Use the sample below as a starting point for your own maintenance plan for your site. The sample can be modified to suit the maintenance activities that your site requires.

All Web sites are welcome to decide how to format their maintenance plans and what information to include with them. For an example, see EERE's sample maintenance plan (MS Word 42 KB).
