1. Emergency disaster responses don't have backup plans unless there's been lots of
time (years) to work them out.

The Red Cross has some pretty complete disaster plans with backup plans, but there have been hundreds/thousands of people preparing those plans and updating them for many years.

When there's an emergency, one has to gather information quickly, assess it, decide what to do and do it. If it doesn't work or doesn't work well enough, then the process starts all over again.

When time is of the eseence, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!.

I wouldn't expect him to have a backup plan at this point and I don't want him spending time building a backup plan. There aren't enough hours in the day right now. I want him to implement his current plan and do it quickly.
