How about the word contingency. Here’s the second of two senses listed on Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary:
a.) An event (as an emergency) that may, but is not certain to occur
b.) Something liable to happen as an adjunct to or a result of something else
To be honest, I’m not familiar with sub-sense ‘b’, and while M-W seems to specify possible (but not certain) emergencies, I’ve found myself using ‘contingency’ to refer to minor
Also note that ‘contingency’ also refers to provisions made to address such (possible but not certain) events. Strangely, that sense is not mentioned on M-W, but is listed in the Oxford Dictionary (10th edition; page 307).
