Incident Response Plan and Recovery Plan

I have one question only in the Incident response plan (IRP) template. Our approach is BCP per department and one coordinator each. My understanding in the IRP is a separate plan to be activated during emergency or incident like if your critical department activities are threatened by one of your identified threats. This IRP also is different from Recovery Plan as this will be activated during the actual disruption or disaster. Is my understanding correct?

Answer: Yes, your understanding is correct.

An incident response plan describes what has to be done immediately after a disaster occurs, to reduce the effects of the incident, while a Recovery Plan describes how to recover the infrastructure, applications, data, and how to decide when the recovery is completed so that normal operations can begin.
