This section associates the Department of Homeland Security National Terrorism Advisory
System with operational readiness and possible organization responses. Sample text for this
section includes:
Devolution of operations planning provides [Organization Name] with a means of ensuring the
continuity of essential functions, in the absence of a credible warning and/or the ability to
relocate the [Organization Name]’s Emergency Relocation Group (ERG) to one or more
continuity facilities. The Secretary/Director, [Organization Name], will normally refer to the
threat conditions and potential responses identified in the [Organization Name] Continuity of
Operations Plan when assessing an emergency or disruptive situation to determine whether
continuity activation is required. Similarly, the Devolution Director or Successor could refer to
the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) threat alert as a resource when assessing an
emergency to determine if the DERG should anticipate an activation of the [Organization
Name] Devolution of Operations Plan.
