Contingency Planning 07
Contingency Planning 07 : "Contingency planning is the cornerstone of homeland security planning. It supports crisis action planning by anticipating potential crises and developing plans that facilitate timely selection of courses of action and execution planning during a crisis. Crisis action planning provides the means to transition from normal circumstances to heightened threats, emergency response, and recovery". (FEMA, Interim IPS (V 2.3), July 2008 copy, 2-8) Contingency Planning. "Contingency planning creates plans in anticipation of future incidents based on the most current information. A contingency is an incident which would involve national resources to prevent, protect from, respond to, or recover from terrorist attacks or natural disasters. (1) Contingency planning facilitates the transition to CAP; during CAP any contingency plan may become a Crisis Action Plan. Contingency plans are prepared by senior Federal agency leaders in response to requirements established by the Secretary [DHS] and/or the President. (2) Contingency planning is conducted before an incident. A contingency plan provides guidance for conducting operations for a given threat or scenario. It is conducted under non-emergency conditions, evaluated through training and exercises, and refined over time. (3) Contingency plans are not immediately executed after they are approved. They are continually refined over time and provide planners a well-developed starting point that can be rapidly modified with little or no notice to support crisis action planning requirements".
