Contingency planning: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:36, 13 January 2026

Contingency planning helps people navigate through the consequences of an accident. For minor accidents, basic information such as medical needs and an emergency contact may be enough. For fatal accidents, details such as how to inform family and how to dispose of possessions become relevant.

Plan formulation

Consider the following questions.

What are the conditions for an emergency plan to be carried out? (Medical emergency? Incapacitation? Death?)

Who are the primary and secondary points of contact for a plan? The primary may not always be reachable or willing.

Who has ultimate decision making authority? A decision making committee is possible, but consider how they will be behaving in the event of death.

What level of detail is shared, with who, and when? Contact information for a family member, context of their relation with regards to kink, and what level to inform them.

Pre-scene planning

Informing other participants in a scene how to respond to an emergency will reduce adverse outcomes. Providing contact information for a trusted friend will help in low-trust scenes where it is preferred to reveal minimal personal information.

Medical conditions

Inform the participants of any known medical conditions. Known sensitivities or interactions to drugs should be communicated prior to the scene.

Remote check-in

Scheduling a time to check in with a friend. Inform them of the location, what is planned, and for how long. Establish what steps to take in case a response is not received within the agreed time frame.

Cell phone emergency contact

Modern smartphone operating systems have features to allow anyone to access emergency medical information when the phone is locked.^[1]^[2] Include at least one emergency contact that is kinky.

Tamper-resistant document

Write emergency instructions and seal in an envelope, or package it in another tamper-resistant form.

Worst case planning

In the event a person dies in a kink scene, end of life planning will help their social circle navigate the consequences while they are dealing with emotional trauma.
