  2. National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service Support for Homeland Security • Support to NOAA Homeland Security Team and working groups • Continuity of Operations Working Group (COOP) • Capabilities Working Group • Infrastructure • Security • Safety • Infrastructure/Communications • Participation in the OFCM Task Group review of capabilities • Participation in the Federal Geographic Data Committee Working • Group on Homeland Security (addressing the need for data standards) • Support to US Air Force • Request from Air Force (AFWA) for MODIS data over Afghanistan • Application of ARGOS transmitters on humanitarian aid shipments

  3. PDD-NSC-67 Enduring Constitutional Government Continuity of Government Operations (U) Presidential Decision Directive 67 (PDD 67), issued 21 October 1998, relates to enduring constitutional government, continuity of operations (COOP) planning, and continuity of government (COG) operations. The purpose of Enduring Constitutional Government (ECG), Continuity of Government (COG), and Continuity of Operations (COOP) is to ensure survival of a constitutional form of government and the continuity of essential Federal functions. Presidential Decision Directive 67 replaced the Bush Administration's NSD 69 "Enduring Constitutional Government" of 02 June 1992, which in turn succeeded NSD 37 "Enduring Constitutional Government" of 18 April 1990 and NSDD 55 "Enduring National Leadership" of 14 September 1982. Executive Order 12656 [Section 202] required that "The head of each Federal department and agency shall ensure the continuity of essential functions in any national security emergency by providing for: succession to office and emergency delegation of authority in accordance with applicable law; safekeeping of essential resources, facilities, and records; and establishment of emergency operating capabilities." PDD-67 required Federal agencies to develop Continuity of Operations Plans for Essential Operations. Federal Agencies developed the COOP as a unifying concept that did not replace existing plans but, instead, superimposed COOP functions if and when a problem threatens serious disruption to agency operations. The plans identify those requirements necessary to support the primary function, such as emergency communications, establishing a chain of command, and delegation of authority.

  4. Continuity of Operations • NOAA will base their COOP on the format used by the Department of Interior • Interior COOP is scenario based, ranging from minor to catastrophic • interruption of services • Within the NOAA COOP Working Group (of the NOAA Homeland Security • Team) each Line Office is to develop their own COOP (to include all regional • and field offices) • Within NESDIS we • have identified the most critical functions (that which the Nation most immediately relies on) • have begun developing office and center COOPs, as well as for Headquarter operations

  5. National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service Products and Services for USAID and State Department • International Surface Meteorological Climate Summary • Engineering Weather • Global Climate Normals • Climates of the World • Time Series of Global Monthly • Vegetation Cover from NOAA/AVHRR 1985-1997 • U.S. Navy Marine Climatic Atlas of the World-Ver. 1.1 • Global Upper Air Climatic Atlas • Extreme Weather and Climate Events • METEOSAT-5 Satellite Imagery (high resolution data, half hourly) • Satellite Derived Daily Snow and Ice Map • Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), Operational Linescan data • DMSP Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) products • NOAA POES 1-km AVHRR data • Weekly Vegetation Health Index • Climate Summaries (CD-ROMs) • Climate Data (CD-ROMs) • Afghanistan Climatology CD-ROM: based on NCDC web site, and includes geophysical data from NGDC (elevation, landcover, ecosystem) International Surface Weather Observations Surface Data, Hourly & 3 Hourly Surface Data, Global Summary of Day Surface Data, Global Historical Climate Network Monthly Climatic Data for the World
