Continuity of Government Readiness Conditions (COGCON)

The COGCON system establishes executive continuity program readiness levels, focusing on emergencies in, or credible threats to the National Capital Region (NCR), or affecting the performance of National Essential Functions (NEFs). There is a COGCON Matrix in Federal Continuity Directive 1 (FCD-1), Federal Executive Branch National Continuity Program and Requirements, which provides expectations at each of the COGCON levels.
