Resource & risk management plan is part of overall project management plan. If you don't have then you need to do this exercise. That is why planning is being done, it is systematic thinking how & when things will be done. May be it is not 100% correct and details are clear later you will update it but a systematic exercise will add lot of value to your project.

The application of the project management processes is iterative, and many processes are repeated during the project. The rolling wave planning concept should be taken into consideration, where a more general, high-level plan is available and more detailed planning is executed for appropriate time windows, as new work activities are approaching and resources are to be assigned.

I totally agree with Mauro and would like to add that for risks, there are know-unknowns which goes under contingency reserve and unknown-unknowns which goes under management reserves so even if you do not know all risks, you account for them in a way or another.

High level planning might begin when project is initiated. High level planning includes identification of key deliverables and stakeholders. assessment of selected project based on the available information, review of business case, conduct of benefit analysis, identification of resources requirement, identification of high level risks, assumptions and constraints etc. And the results from high level planning are elements of Project Charter.

Most of planning processes in Planning stage should directly or indirectly refer to the Project Charter, Stakeholder Register, OPAs and EEFs and they are performed interactively and iteratively until Project Management Plan is approved in Planning stage.
Detailed resource planning might start just after project activities are defined based on
WBS as more clear information is available and it might be completed when Project Management Plan is finalized.

Risk Break-down Structure(RBS) is generally made in detailed risk planning based on currently available information like OPAs, EEFs, Project Charter and other documents, RBS might help project team look at the risk sources when they perform process of Identify Risks.
