Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center
FEMA’s center of operations is the go-to spot for our country’s top officials when disaster strikes. Dick Cheney and many members of Congress were shuttled here on September 11— the 564-acre facility has offices, dorms, and a dining room in a location safely outside the city of D.C. There are armed guards and access to the president’s Emergency Alert System. So, no, you can’t go there.
