COGCON
COGCON ("continuity of government readiness") is a United States government readiness level, roughly analogous to the DEFCON alert state system, tracking the readiness of the government in the event of an emergency.[1] The system was introduced in National Security Presidential Directive 51, signed by George W. Bush on May 4, 2007.[1]
Levels
- COGCON 4 represents normal peacetime operations.[1]
- COGCON 3 is a state of heightened readiness, with some government officials required to notify a Watch Office as to their location[1]
- COGCON 1 calls for the United States government to be relocated to secure, fully staffed bunkers[1]
