rescue plan

Crisis intervention scheme

A rescue plan is a strategy designed to save someone or something from danger, failure, or collapse.

The term applies broadly—from emergency procedures for trapped workers to financial bailouts for struggling companies: The government unveiled a rescue plan for the banking sector.

A rescue plan implies urgency and the possibility that without intervention, the situation will worsen.
