Someone should build up expertise and produce educational materials / run workshops on questions like
Nuclear attacks on several cities in a 1000 mile radius of you, including one within 100 miles. What is your first move?
Reports of a bioweapon in the water supply of your city. What do you do?
You’re a survivor of an industrial-revolution-erasing event. What chunks of knowledge from science can be useful to you? After survival, what are the steps to rebuilding?
6 billion people died and the remaining billion are uniformly distributed throughout the planet’s former population centers. How can you build up robustness of basic survival, food and water production, shelter, etc.?
(for the IT folks) 5 years after number 4, basic needs are largely met, and scavengers have filled a garage with old laptops and computer parts. Can you begin rebuilding the internet to connect with other clusters around the world?
Differentially distributing these materials/workshops to people who live in geographical areas likely to survive at all could help rebuilding efforts in worlds where massive sub-extinction events occur.
Sub-extinction event drills, games, exercises
Civilizational resilience to catastrophes
