Second Definition
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Enterprise Performance Life Cycle Framework Practices Guide, a contingency plan (also known as disaster recovery) is a subset of Emergency Preparedness Planning [1]. Several agencies define contingency planning differently, but with the same overall theme:
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): A set of pre-planned guidelines intended to return business operations to working order in the event of an emergency, disaster, or a large systematic breakdown.
- Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL): Pre-set procedures put in place during a disaster that that focus on recovery.
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Enterprise Performance Life Cycle (EPLC): A pre-planned course of action/strategy that a business should follow in the event of a system failure of disaster.
