The Contingency and Emergency Plan is a management tool that defines objectives, strategies and programs to prevent and reduce risks, respond to emergencies, and take restoration action if a disaster occurs, making it possible to minimize bodily injuries and property or environmental damages resulting from human activities or natural disasters.
