Mount Weather is about 48 airline miles west of Washington, DC; about 54 miles by road. It is place where mysterious and secretive underground military base exists, located deep inside a mountain near the rural town of Bluemont, Virginia.
Mount Weather is operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), successor to the Office of Emergency Preparedness.
It is said to be equipped with all amenities of life. In the event of nuclear war, declaration of martial law, or other national emergency, the President, his cabinet and the rest of the Executive Branch would be “relocated” to Mount Weather.
The center is already functioning and even in small local disasters in the US, much of the telecommunications traffic is routed through it.
