Management policy and
procedures used to guide an enterprise response to a perceived loss of mission
capability. The Contingency Plan is the first plan used by the enterprise risk
managers to determine what happened, why, and what to do. It may point to the
COOP or Disaster Recovery Plan for major disruptions. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
(I) 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. [NCS04] (See: availability.)
[RFC4949:2007]
A plan that is maintained
for disaster response, backup operations, and post-disaster recovery to ensure
the availability of critical resources and to facilitate the continuity of
operations in an emergency situation. [NIST-SP800-57:2007]

contingency plan. [NIST-SP800-57:2007]
IT contingency planning is
one modular piece of a larger contingency and continuity-planning program that
encompasses IT, business processes, risk management, financial management,
crisis communications, safety and security of personnel and property, and
continuity of government. Each piece is operative in its own right, but
together can create a coordinated synergy that efficiently and effectively
protects the entire organization. [NIST-SP800-100:2006]
Management policy and
procedures designed to maintain or restore business operations, including
computer operations, possibly at an alternate location, in the event of
emergencies, system failures, or disaster. [NIST-SP800-34:2002]
A plan for emergency
response, backup operations, and post-disaster recovery maintained by an
organization as a part of its security program that will ensure the
availability of critical resources and facilitate the continuity of operations
in an emergency situation.

plan and emergency plan.
[IRM-5239-8:1995]
In colloquial English, a
contingency is something that can happen, but that generally is not
anticipated. Planning for contingencies often requires a more imaginative
approach, because contingencies are inherently not obvious. Large
organizations, such as governments, are often criticized for not planning for
contingencies because the construction of plans to deal with contingencies
often involves thinking outside the box. Beforehand, contingencies are hard to
predict; this failure to appreciate contingencies ahead of time has led to the
formulation of Murphy's law.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency
Sets out a course of action
that is maintained for emergency response, backup operations, and post-disaster
recovery. The purpose of the plan is to ensure availability of critical
resources and facilitate the continuity of operations in an emergency. The plan
includes procedures for performing backups, preparing critical facilities that
can be used to facilitate continuity of critical operations in the event of an
emergency and recovering from a disaster.
