Less than 5 percent of employees in the Department of Interior's main building in Washington, D.C., are considered essential, Al Kamen of The Washington Post reports.

These chosen few -- the political appointees in particular -- will be evacuated to a safe location in the event of a terrorist attack in order to keep the agency operating. The rest? They can go home.

The main DOI building has about 2,000 employees.
