Risk Contingency Plan
What is a Risk Contingency Plan?
A Risk Contingency Plan is a structured strategy that outlines specific actions to be taken if a potential risk materializes. It is a vital component of overall risk management, designed to minimize disruption, reduce damage, and maintain business continuity when adverse events occur.
Unlike risk mitigation, which aims to prevent risks, contingency planning is about being prepared to respond effectively when prevention fails.
