Continuity Guidance Circular

The Continuity Guidance Circular (CGC) details the fundamental concepts to unify the application of continuity principles, planning and programs in communications in jurisdictions across the Nation.

It provides guidance on the integration of continuity concepts, provides a common foundation for understanding continuity, and guides the development of tools and resources to help organizations build continuity capabilities. The preparedness of our Nation and the provision of essential functions and critical services are shared responsibilities across the whole community.

The CGC assists in enhancing jurisdictional continuity plans and capabilities, and aligning those plans and capabilities with national continuity doctrine.
