National Security Presidential Directive-51Homeland Security Presidential Directive-20
National Security Presidential Directive-51/Homeland Security PresidentialDirective-20 (NSPD-51/HSPD-20) National Continuity Policy, issued May 4,2007, emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive national programinvolving all government levels and the private sector for integrated andscalable continuity planning. NSPD-51/HSPD-20 prescribes continuityrequirements for all executive departments and agencies, and providescontinuity guidance for the States, territories, tribal and local governments,
and private sector organizations.
This Directive designates the Secretary of Homeland Security as thePresidents lead agent for coordinating overall national continuity operationsand activities, and provides continuity planners with substantive new
guidance designed to enhance the Nations continuity capabilities. It alsodirects the Secretary of Homeland Security to assist with the practicalimplementation of policy guidance through the development andpromulgation of continuity planning requirements and guidance for Federaland non-Federal government jurisdictions and private sector criticalinfrastructure owners and operators.

National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan
The National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan (NCPIP), dated August2007, provides continuity program implementation guidance for NSPD-51/HSPD-20.
It provides directive guidance to assist Federal organizations in developingcontinuity plans and programs, to include the identification of MissionEssential Functions (MEFs) and Primary Mission Essential Functions(PMEFs), that support the eight National Essential Functions (NEFs)themost critical functions necessary for leading and sustaining our Nationduring a catastrophic emergency.

Guidance in the implementation plan helps ensure that our nations
continuity efforts and resources will be coordinated and leveraged toensure essential government functions and services will be providedto the nations citizens under all conditions. This plan directs more
than 75 critical actions to ensure the effectiveness and survivability ofour Nations continuity capability.
The NCPIP highlights the importance of partnerships with the otherbranches of the Federal Government, other levels of government,and the private sector to include:
-Federal Government: Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch-State, territorial, tribal, local governments;
and
-Private sector critical infrastructure owners and operators

Presidential Directive-20, recognizes the importance of effectivecommunications to meet Enduring Constitutional Government andcontinuity requirements.
The National Communications System Directive (NCSD) 3-10, Minimum
Requirements for Continuity Communications Capabilities, establishes apolicy framework that defines minimum communications requirementsfor all Federal Executive Branch organizations and alternate operationsfacilities, to ensure continuity of national essential functions, as well asassured communication among the President, cabinet officers, andother key executive office personnel.

Federal Continuity Directive 1 (FCD 1), Federal Executive Branch NationalContinuity Program and Requirements, approved by the Secretary ofHomeland Security in February 2008, provides operational direction for thedevelopment of continuity plans and programs for the Federal ExecutiveBranch. This directive supersedes Federal Preparedness Circular 65
and was developed by NCPs Continuity of Operations Division incoordination with its interagency partners.
FCD 1 describes the key elements of a viable continuity capability and theimportance of coordinating with non-Federal organizations to establish andmaintain a comprehensive and effective national continuity capability.Continuity programs and operations are simply good business practices thatensure government functions and services will be available to our nations
citizens under all conditions.

Executive Branch organizations, regardless of their location, and are usefulfor all non-Federal entities.
The enhancements in the new guidance specifically address the following:
-Key components of continuity program management, including personnel,
communications, and facilities-Need for scalable, full-spectrum continuity plans that acknowledge the potential for abroad range of disruptive events and call for more than just a traditional continuityoption that requires relocating staff to an alternate facility
-Incorporation of a risk-based framework for continuity plans and programs to identifyand assess potential hazards, determine acceptable levels of risk, and prioritize and
allocate resources
-Inclusion of budgeting considerations in continuity plans and programs
-Readiness and preparedness considerations.

FEMA Continuity Planning Guidance
An organizations continuity of operations plan documents the
overarching strategy, policies, and procedures required to support itsheadquarters continuity of operations program.
As the DHS entity for coordinating the Executive Branch continuity of
operations program, NCP has developed detailed planning guidanceand plan templates to help other Federal and non-Federal entities in
their continuity planning. NCPs responsibilities include ensuring that
plans are current and contain all required information, as outlined inFederal Continuity Directive 1 and Continuity Guidance Circular 1.
The Continuity of Operations Planning Course provides guidanceand templates to help develop Federal interagency and State,territorial, tribal, and local government continuity plans and programs.

The Goal of Continuity
The ultimate goal of continuity in the executive branch isthe continuation of National Essential Functions (NEFs).In order to achieve that goal, the objective fororganizations is to identify their Essential Functions (EFs)
and ensure that those functions can be continuedthroughout, or resumed rapidly after, a disruption ofnormal activities.
The Federal Government has an important partnershipwith other non-Federal government entities and withprivate sector owners and operators who play integralroles in ensuring our homeland security.

Continuity Program Management Cycle
An organizations resiliency is directly related to the
effectiveness of its continuity capability. An organizations
continuity capabilityits ability to perform its essentialfunctions continuouslyrests upon key components orpillars, which are in turn built on the foundation of
continuity planning and program management.
Those key pillars are Leadership, Staff, Communications,and Facilities. The continuity program staff within an
agency shall coordinate and oversee the developmentand implementation of continuity plans and supportingprocedures.
-
8/4/2019 Continuity of Operations Training By Jonathan Greenstein, ILEM
22/41
A standardized continuity program management
cycle ensures consistency across all continuityprograms and supports the foundation and pillars
that comprise the Nations continuity capability.
It establishes consistent performance metrics,prioritizes implementation plans, promulgates best
practices, and facilitates consistent cross-agencycontinuity evaluations.

Four Phases of Continuity of Operations Activation
Phase I Readiness and Preparedness.
Phase II Activation and Relocation: plans, procedures,and schedules to transfer activities, personnel, records,and equipment to alternate facilities are activated.
Phase III Continuity Operations: full execution ofessential operations at alternate operating facilities iscommenced.
Phase IV Reconstitution: operations at alternate facilityare terminated and normal operations resume.

Conditions in which the Continuity Plan will be Activated
The plan could be activated in response to a wide rangeof events or situations from a fire in the building; to anatural disaster; to the threat or occurrence of a terroristattack. Any event that makes it impossible for employeesto work in their regular facility could result in theactivation of the Continuity plan.
"Continuity planning is simply the good business practiceof ensuring the execution of essential functions through
all circumstances, and it is a fundamental responsibility ofpublic and private entities responsible to theirstakeholders."
