Contingency planning is a key element of the CIP process so as to minimize the potential effects of a disruption or destruction of a critical infrastructure. The development of a coherent approach to the elaboration of contingency plans addressing such issues as the participation of owners/operators of critical infrastructure, cooperation with national authorities and Information Sharing among neighbouring countries should form an important element of the implementation of the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP). [1]

ENISA

A contingency plan is a plan for emergency response, backup operations, and post-disaster recovery in a system, as part of a security program, to ensure availability of critical system resources and facilitate continuity of operations in a crisis. [2]


Other International Definitions

Contingency plan:
(1) Predefined sets of actions for response to unauthorized acts indicative of attempted unauthorized removal or sabotage, including threats thereof, designed to effectively counter such acts.
(2) A part of the security plan or a stand-alone document that identifies reasonably foreseeable security events, provides initial planned actions, (including alerting appropriate authorities) and assigns responsibilities to appropriate operator personnel and response personnel. [3]



UNDRR

Contingency planning is a management process that analyses specific potential events or emerging situations that might threaten society or the environment and establishes arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective and appropriate responses to such events and situations. [4]

Contingency planning results in organised and coordinated courses of action with clearly identified institutional roles and resources, information processes, and operational arrangements for specific actors at times of need. Based on scenarios of possible emergency conditions or disaster events, it allows key actors to envision, anticipate and solve problems that can arise during crises. Contingency planning is an important part of overall preparedness. Contingency plans need to be regularly updated and excercised.

- A document, developed in conjunction with application owners and maintained at the primary and backup computer installation, which describes procedures and identifies the personnel necessary to respond to abnormal situations such as disasters.
