Explanation

A Contingency Plan contains specific, pre-defined strategies and actions to be executed when a particular situation, emergency, or security problem occurs - especially when underlying assumptions prove incorrect. It is scenario-specific and triggered by defined conditions. By contrast, a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) focuses on keeping critical business functions operational during and after a disruption, a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is IT-focused on restoring systems after a catastrophic event, and a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) is a government-oriented plan for maintaining essential functions. The key differentiator for contingency plans is their specificity to predefined scenarios based on assumption variances.
