emergency plan
Backup response strategy
An emergency plan is a prepared set of procedures for responding to a crisis—natural disaster, fire, medical emergency, or security threat.
Organizations develop emergency plans to minimize harm and confusion when something goes wrong: Every school should have an emergency plan for active shooters.
We reviewed the emergency plan before hurricane season.
