Continuity of Government (COG)

Continuity of Government (COG) refers to the plans and provisions put in place to ensure that essential government functions continue during emergencies, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or extreme crises. It involves preparing specific procedures, designated leaders, and secure facilities so that key government operations—like national security, law enforcement, and public services—can persist without interruption. COG aims to maintain stability, leadership, and decision-making capacity to protect the country's interests and ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens, even in challenging or unforeseen situations.
