COG - Continuity of Government

Continuity of Government Planning Explained

Continuity of Government (COG) planning ensures essential government functions during a crisis or emergency.

COG planning dates back to President Eisenhower, who wanted the government to operate after a nuclear war.

COG planning has key components like Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Enduring Constitutional Government (ECG).

COOP ensures organizations can continue essential functions during disruptions.

ECG preserves the constitutional framework during a catastrophic emergency.

NEFs are government functions necessary to lead and sustain the nation during emergencies.

PEADs are draft executive orders and proclamations prepared for worst-case scenarios.

COG planning is crucial for maintaining government services and infrastructure during crises.
