To my understanding there is no designated survivor except at the State of the Union speech or some other event where Congress and POTUS are all in the same place. In those cases one is designated and watches the proceedings from a secure location, etc.
In all other times a designated survivor isn't necessary because there is an established line of succession already in place.
It is my understanding that they only appoint a survivor when all 3 branches meet in the same place as when the president presents their state of the union address.
Kiefer Sutherland obviously.
