A contingency plan is a plan devised for an outcome other than in the usual (expected) plan. According to the quality assurance and accreditation process, it is required from all higher academic institutions to design a contingency plan in case of emergency, so no panic and risk-managed very well.
In a line of coronavirus outbreak and possibilities to close universities are there any contingency plans in a place? if not inorder the mangers to take responsibility and protect their students and staff are they ready to develop one? in your workplace as academicians do you know if there is a contingency plan available and who responds to implement it?is it developed at the level of institutions, colleges or programs?
I would appreciate your thought in this
Institutions that are situated where hurricanes and earthquakes are likely to occur, may be able to give some light on this. At the last hurricane warning, I realized that all the planning and preparation was done at the Departmental level, which was a bit daunting for someone who had never been through it before. However, in retrospect that probably makes the best sense for us.
