E-Resilience: Contingency Planning
Contingency planning is a process that analyses specific potential events or emerging situations, such as natural disasters, that might threaten society or critical ICT infrastructure and establishes arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective and appropriate responses to such events and situations. For instance, in the context of ICT networks, a contingency plan should contain detailed guidance and procedures for restoring damaged ICT infrastructure unique to the system’s security impact level and recovery requirements. The E-Resilience Toolkit offers insights into a spectrum of available ICT tools and best practices that may benefit policymakers, DRM professionals and vulnerable communities in Asia and the Pacific to enhance e-resilience and disaster risk management in the context of contingency planning.
