Contingency and Crisis Action Planning
Contingency and Crisis Action Planning : "Ideally all potential national domestic incidents would have a plan ready for execution at a moments notice. This is unlikely so it is necessary to view planning in two contexts. Planning in the Pre-incident phase aims to prepare plans for the most dangerous potential incidents that could affect the nation; this is called contingency planning. Planning that takes place during the Incident Phase is called "crisis action planning" or CAP. Both use the same procedure to develop courses of action. The essential difference is that CAP takes place in a time-constrained and high-visibility environment. These aspects make CAP the most critical capability to develop. An effective CAP process relies on experienced planners, whose primary experience comes from developing contingency plans. Both contingency planning and CAP aim to produce plans that will achieve a specific national objective for a given incident; that is they are "execution" focused". (DHS, 2007)
