Continuity of Government

From Ikwipedia

Continuity of Government, now commonly referred to as Continuity of Operations (COOP), is the series of plans, installations and people that constitute our shadow government. COG/COOP can be thought of as a skeleton government operating in parallel to our elected officials. When a disaster occurs, the COGPLAN is activated and a series of pre-determined steps are undertaken to transfer the functions of government from the public facing government to the shadow government. The various agency/department heads, ostensibly, are the same officials that run our public government. In practice, a series of executive orders and standing orders would govern most of the day-to-day operations.

COG/COOP is in the periphery of this topic because of its association with Deep Underground Military Bases across the country.
