TELEWORK PREPAREDNESS

NASA Headquarters supports the emergency teleworking activity, a unique contingency response that may be activated under a variety of scenarios with or without the exercise of portions of the Headquarters and Agency Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Contingency Plan. Potential scenarios include, but are not limited to:

Government ordered response to a flu pandemic requiring work at a Continuity of Operations (COOP) site or from home for an extended period.
Terrorist or criminal actions prohibiting access to the HQ building for an extended period of time such as Anthrax exposure.
Any natural, human, and/or environmental threat causing partial or total destruction of HQ.

Some of these emergency events would not cause an activation of the EOC or other contingency considerations. However, each scenario creates a situation where a large population of HQ employees and supporting contractors may be unable to accomplish their day-to-day business functions from HQ and would need to work at another location. All scenarios require you to prepare and practice teleworking during a period when you are comfortable and have dedicated time to allow you to practice these capabilities BEFORE circumstances require you to use it.
