Mission Essential Functions (MEFs) 2
Mission Essential Functions (MEFs) 2 :
A subset of Governmental Functions - see: Primary Mission Essential Functions which are a subset of MEFs, and National Essential Functions which are a subset of PMEFs. MEFs are described as the limited set of agency-level government functions (as depicted in Figure 8) that must be continued throughout, or resumed rapidly after, a disruption of normal activities. MEFs are those functions that enable an organization to provide vital services, exercise civil authority, maintain the safety of the public, and sustain the industrial and economic base, during the disruption of normal operations. Once identified, MEFs serve as key continuity planning factors for agencies to determine appropriate staffing, communications, information, facilities, training, and other continuity requirements.
