Contingency planning and CAP share common planning activities and are interrelated.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Contingency planning and CAP (Crisis Action Planning) are both planning activities that are closely connected. Contingency planning involves developing strategies and actions to address potential future events or crises. CAP, on the other hand, is a specific type of contingency planning that focuses on immediate response and decision-making during a crisis. While CAP is a subset of contingency planning, both involve similar processes and considerations, making them interrelated. Therefore, the statement that contingency planning and CAP share common planning activities and are interrelated is true.

Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Contingency planning refers to the process of preparing for potential future events or circumstances that may disrupt normal operations. By having a contingency plan in place, organizations can effectively respond to unexpected situations and minimize the impact on their operations. In the context of the question, CAP refers to the Continuity of Operations Plan, which is a set of procedures and protocols put in place to ensure that essential functions can continue during and after a crisis. Therefore, it can be inferred that contingency planning indeed facilitates the transition to CAP, making the statement "True."
