Contingency Planning 06
Contingency Planning 06 : "Contingency planning creates plans in anticipation of future incidents based on the most current information utilizing Department resources. A contingency is an incident which would involve DHS resources in response to natural or man made disasters, terrorists or other situations as directed by the President or Secretary of Homeland Security. Contingency planning facilitates the transition to CAP; during CAP any contingency plan will become a Crisis Action Plan. Any plan for conducting national incident management operations will be called a Department Contingency Plan. (DHS, 2007)
