Contingency refers to a future event or circumstance that is possible but uncertain. In the context of planning, a contingency plan is a proactive measure taken to prepare for and mitigate potential risks or unforeseen events that could impact the success or smooth execution of a project, activity, or goal. It involves identifying potential issues, developing alternative strategies, and determining actions to be taken if those issues arise. Contingency plans help organizations respond effectively and minimize disruptions when unexpected situations occur.
