A notification plan identifies who needs to be notified when a disruptive event occurs and normally provides up-to-date contact details to ease the process of contacting people. In addition it is useful to know at what stage of the emergency and in what priority order each person should be notified; how each person is best contacted outside of normal working hours and even within normal working hours; and how often they need to be kept informed during the disruptive incident.
