Mt. Weather Emergency Operations Center

The Mount Weather Emergency Assistance Center (MWEAC) is located in Virginia high in the Blue Ridge Mountains west of Washington, D.C. The site was first used by the Department of Agriculture's Weather Bureau as a meteorological balloon and kite launch facility in 1902. Known as "Mt. Weather", today the center is a hub of emergency response activity providing FEMA and other government agencies space for offices, training, conferencing, operations, and storage.

Mt. Weather is currently home to eight major FEMA functional groups

Mount Weather , eighty-five acres located forty-five miles west of Washington and 1,725 feet above sea level, near the town of Bluemont, Virginia. In the event of all-out war, an elite of civilian and military leaders are to be taken to Mount Weather's cavernous underground shelter to become the nucleus of a postwar American society. The government has a secret list of those persons it plans to save.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) runs Mount Weather. When it has to talk about the place, which is rare, it calls it the "special facility." Its more common name comes from a weather station that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had maintained on the mountain.
