Tend towards making fewer plans, as general as is feasible, following principles rather than specific actions (again, where feasible).
Plans are always undergoing minor revision.
This applies towards dealing with all aspects of life, emergencies included.
Like to have 2-5(maximum of 5, prefer just 2-3) general contingencies for given general scenario, immediately executable.
For a given contingency, like to have 2-3 general sub-contingencies which are immediately executable, if necessary.
In practice, these contingencies are usually less preferred tier 1 options.
The tier 1 options are all designed to buy time.
This time would be used to figure out/adjust plans and new contingencies, given the new circumstance.
The tier 2 options are in case the tier 1 option didn't buy enough time.
They are also designed to buy time.
Find it important to buy time for revision given new circumstances.
Not so much for the reasons I can think of, but for all the reasons I can't forsee.
Best asset I have is a mind capable of making rational decisions.
Buying time allows for intel gathering and calm decisions.
