Contingency Planning: The process of developing preparedness for potential emergencies or unexpected situations that can disrupt normal operations. It involves identifying critical functions, assessing risks, and establishing procedures to ensure business continuity and recovery. Contingency plans aim to minimize impact and guide rapid and effective responses to incidents such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or equipment failures.
