In an emergency, GSA's Heartland Region works with other agencies to support the National Response Plan. GSA is responsible for opening and closing federal buildings, and leased locations, where federal agencies are located.

Federal employees should follow their own agency's emergency procedures and monitor media announcements about related information. GSA will publish emergency information, when necessary, to www.gsa.gov/emergency.

Agencies occupying GSA-managed buildings are reminded to coordinate their alternate work site designation and point of contact information with the Regional Emergency Coordinator, using the contact information provided on the upper right.

The Heartland Region works with FEMA to lead the Kansas City Regional COOP Working Group (KC-RCWG), a Kansas City Federal Executive Board program dedicated to improving the federal community's overall emergency preparedness.
