EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS (Contingency Planning)

Steps in contingency planning:

1. Hazard & risk analysis: list hazards/events that threaten food security and/or implemen-

tation of ongoing assistance operations.

2. Contingency priontization: assess probability & likely outcome of each hazard & select

those for which specific plans should be prepared (e.g. the most probable and the worst-

case).

3. Scenario building: for each contingency, describe (use assumptions ) likely outcomes &

situation that would be faced.

4. Contingency plan preparation: define what agencies need to do to respond to each

scenario and how the response would be organized (see elements)

5. Preparedness actions & updating the plan: take specific actions to enhance

preparedness; review analysis & plan(s) regularly, & update when necessary.
