For more information on the NDRF see National Disaster Recovery <br />Framework. <br />Continuity Planning <br />Continuity planning and operations are an inherent element of each core capability. Continuity operations <br />increase resilience and the probability that organizations can perform essential functions. FEMA develops <br />and promulgates Federal Continuity Directives (FCDs) to establish continuity program and planning <br />requirements for executive departments and agencies and Continuity Guidance Circulars (CGCs) for SLTT <br />governments, non-governmental organizations, and private sector critical infrastructure owners and <br />operators. This direction and guidance assist in developing capabilities for continuing the essential functions <br />of federal, state, local, tribal, territorial governmental entities as well as the public/private critical <br />infrastructure owners, operators, and regulators enabling them. <br /> <br />Presidential Policy 40, FCD 1, FCD 2, CGC 1, and CGC 2 outline the overarching continuity requirements <br />and guidance for organizations and provide guidance, methodology, and checklists. For additional <br />information on continuity programs, guidance, directives, and available technical assistance, visit <br />Continuity Resources and Technical Assistance and the Office of National Continuity Programs. <br />Allowable continuity planning activities include the development of the following: <br />• Continuity of operations and Continuity of Government planning products for the continuance of <br />essential functions and associated leadership; <br />• Risk-based needs assessments based on the THIRA to inform risk mitigation efforts to ensure the <br />continuity of essential functions and associated leadership; and
