Explanation

A Contingency Plan is designed to address specific, predefined scenarios or variances from normal operations - particular emergencies, security events, or unexpected situations. It is more targeted and scenario-specific than a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) or Business Continuity Plan (BCP). A DRP focuses on restoring IT systems after a major disaster. A BCP focuses on keeping critical business functions running. A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) focuses on maintaining essential government or organizational functions. The contingency plan's defining characteristic is its specificity to particular situations.
