disaster plan

Crisis response blueprint

A disaster plan is a documented strategy for responding to emergencies—natural disasters, infrastructure failures, security threats, or other crises.

Organizations develop disaster plans to establish protocols, assign responsibilities, and minimize harm: Every school should have a disaster plan for fires and lockdowns.

Also called an emergency plan or contingency plan.
