Planning for the Worst Case

Our current planning is focused on things we can start to do now that will effect our future sustainability. These seem to be changes that will take several months/years to get going or to implement.

Urgency continues to surface in my thought process and Rich has expressed the same concern.
If things change gradually in a predictable fashion, our planning is right on. My concern, and I think I have expressed it several times, is things might change drastically overnight or within a very short time frame. This gets back to emergency preparedness but it may last much longer than a typical emergency. I realize that this is a gloom & doom senario but I think it is something have could happen. From my perspective, I think it is almost inevitable.

Does anyone else share my concern?
Is this something LAST needs to consider and plan?

I am going to initiate a web page under People >> Emergency Preparedness that focuses on the worst case senario. I will call it Extended Crisis Planning.
This will be the area where we can consider the most extreme negative senarios just to see what solutions we can develop. It will be a good exercise that will challenge convention.
