13 Abandoned Cold War Bunkers Hiding Incredible Secrets

12. Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, USA: FEMA's Hidden Hub

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Mount Weather is another key US continuity-of-government facility, primarily operated by FEMA. It serves as a major relocation site for high-level civilian officials (including potentially the President via specific protocols) during national emergencies. Like Site R, its full capabilities and current operations are classified, but it's known to be a sprawling underground complex with sophisticated communications and life support. Its secret is its central role in US disaster and emergency command, hidden away yet perpetually ready.
