Guide For the Development of a State and Local Continuity of

Government Capability

Foreword

Catastrophic disaster events can interrupt, paralyze, and/or destroy the ability of

Federal, State, or local governments to carry out their executive, legislative, and

judicial functions. Therefore, it is imperative that each level of government build

a Continuity of Government (COG) capability to preserve, maintain, and/or reconstitute

its ability to function under the threat or occurrence of any emergency that could

disrupt government operations and services.

The development of a COG capability involves a series of

requirements that, when met, will reasonably ensure that

capability to preserve civil government institutions and

effectively under emergency conditions.

This Civil Preparedness Guide (CPG) supports the Integrated Emergency Management

System approach to multihazard emergency operations planning. This CPG amplifies the

COG capability indicators contained in CPG l-35, Hazard Identification, Capability

Assessment, and Multi-Year Development Plan for Local Governments, and CPG l-36,

Capability Assessment and Multi-Year Development Plan for State Governments. The

preparedness and planning considerations detailed are intended to complement and

supplement the planning guidance contained in CPG l-8, Guide for Development of

State and Local Emergency Operations Plans, and CPG l-8A, Guide for the Review of

State and Local Emergency Operations Plans.

This CPG clarifies the COG considerations that apply to State and local governments

and quantifies the specific planning and preparedness measures that warrant con-

sideration. It encourages emergency managers and planners to address COG requirements

as a fundamental part of each jurisdiction's overall emergency operations planning

process and not as a stand-alone requirement.

CHAPTER 1

General Information

l-l. Purpose. This Civil Preparedness Guide (CPG) provides guidance and

procedures for the preparedness and planning requirements (succession,

predelegation of emergency authorities, emergency operating centers (EOC's),

alternate EOC's, emergency action steps, protection of vital records, and the

protection of government resources, personnel, and facilities) associated

with Continuity of Government (COG) responsibilities. Elected and appointed

government officials and emergency managers should use this guide to assess

the jurisdiction's COG status, identify deficiencies, and prepare a remedial

action plan to correct deficiencies.

l-2. Applicability and Scope.

a. Applicability. The provisions of this CPG are applicable to State

and local government officials responsible for the protection of citizens,

the continuation and reconstitution of government functions, and the restoration

and recovery of public and private property. These officials, to the greatest

extent possible, should ensure that their jurisdiction's laws, emergency

operations plans (EOP's), and individual agency and organizational standard

operating procedures (SOP's) that support the EOP thoroughly address COG

requirements.

b. Scope. The rat-ionale for COG is based on the nuclear attack threat.

The dimensions of the problem related to support of the population after an

attack will overwhelm a government's capability to respond unless it is pre-

& pared to deal with the situation. The guidance contained in this CPG should

be used to heighten the awareness of State and local officials on the importance

of COG. Preparedness and planning considerations should be addressed on a

daily basis as a fundamental part of the jurisdiction's emergency operations

planning process. In order for a jurisdiction to attain a viable COG capability,

the following actions associated with COG preparedness and planning must be

satisfied:

(1) Provisions to ensure continued leadership and preservation

of records, thereby maintafning a viable system of government supported by law;

(2) The establishment of appropriate emergency authorities legally

vested in government leaders so that they have prescribed powers to act;

(3) Provisions to ensure the survivability of mechanisms and

systems for direction and control so that actions directed by leaders can

be communicated and coordinated; and

(4) The capability to sustain essential emergency services and

resources so that critical response and recovery actions can achieve the

widest possible implementation, thereby ensuring support to the public.

l-4. Background. Continuity of Government is directly concerned with the

provisions of essential support services to the civilian population while

assuring the survivability of the American constitutional and democratic form

of government. During a national emergency, the continuation of Federal

Government operations is not practical or possible unless such operations

are directly supported by resources and information from State and local

governments. Accordingly, national viability is dependent on the stability

and survivability of State and local government institutions which, with

the Federal institutions, share the constitutional responsibility to preserve

the lives and property of the people. Most emergencies do not threaten

the institutional integrity of State or local governments. However, the

consequence of some major emergencies such as nuclear attack, catastrophic

earthquake, hurricane, or terrorist attack could disrupt State and local

governments' ability to function. Consequently, if a government is not

prepared, most if not all of its critical executive, legislative, and judicial

functions could be severely degraded. This situation could create a climate

that could make the jurisdiction vulnerable to anarchy, lawlessness, and chaos.
