      Executive Branch departments, agencies, and independent organizations, hereinafter referred

      Government at the Headquarters Level During National Security Emergencies, dated

      November 20, 1990.

      6. POLICY: It is the policy of the United States to have in place a comprehensive and effective

      program to ensure continuity of essential Federal functions under all circumstances. To

      support this policy the Federal Executive Branch has implemented the Continuity of

      Operations (COOP) Program. COOP is defined as the activities of individual departments

      and agencies and their sub-components to ensure that their essential functions are performed.

      This includes plans and procedures that delineate essential functions; specify succession to

      office and the emergency delegation of authority; provide for the safekeeping of vital records

      and databases; identify alternate operating facilities; provide for interoperable

      communications; and validate the capability through tests, training, and exercises. All

      Federal agencies, regardless of location, shall have in place a viable COOP capability to

      ensure continued performance of essential functions from alternate operating sites during any

      emergency or situation that may disrupt normal operations.

      7. BACKGROUND: COOP planning is simply a good business practice—part of the

      fundamental mission of agencies as responsible and reliable public institutions. Today's

      changing threat environment and the potential for no-notice emergencies, including localized

      acts of nature, accidents, technological emergencies, and military or terrorist attack-related

      incidents, have increased the need for COOP capabilities and plans that enable agencies to

      continue their essential functions across a broad spectrum of emergencies. This, coupled

      with the potential for terrorist
