4 NSPD-51/HSPD-20 (Revised October 2008) Establishes a national policy on the Continuity of Federal government structures and operations. Mandates incorporation of continuity requirements into Department and Agency daily operations. Requires that all planning be based on the assumption that NO warning will be given. Requires coordination of Federal plans with State, local, territorial, tribal, and private sector plans.

5 National Continuity Policy Implementation Plan (NCPIP) NCPIP builds upon the National Continuity Policy. Emphasizes the Federal Government s Policy requiring agencies to be prepared for unpredictable threats such as earthquakes, accidents, sabotage, and terrorism. Reinforces the critical and ongoing need to ensure the effectiveness of our continuity capability through planning, operations, tests, training, and exercises.

6 Pillars of Continuity Capability Continuity Policy and Directives focus on four pillars of continuity

8 Why Continuity Is Important Empowers state, local, territorial and tribal governments in emergency planning, response, and recovery. Ensures the organization can continue to provide essential services to their stakeholders in any crisis: A resilient organization includes the capability of individuals, communities, and systems to withstand and recover from disruption due to natural or manmade incidents and adapt to changing conditions to sustain acceptable levels of social and economic function. 8
