I was thinking of adding 'Contingency' as a synonym of the 'Emergency' tag since there are quite a few questions that relate to contingency, and it could be included in Emergency.

Emergency and Contingency are quite different though. Should this synonym be added? Or maybe as a separate tag?

    $\begingroup$ Not all contingencies are emergencies. One engine out early on a Saturn V, or a Shuttle abort to orbit (ATO), might require some actions to be taken, but the mission still proceeds. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @DrSheldon Then do you think Contingency should be a tag? I mean, I occasionally encounter questions that would use it $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Speedphoenix Maybe make a new meta question for this to draw attention to it. $\endgroup$
