Just thinking out loud, natural triggers in the longtermist biosecurity space (where I’m by far most familiar) would be:
a disease event or other early warning signal from public health surveillance
new science & tech development in virology/biotech/etc
shifts in international relations or norms relevant to state bioweapons programs
indications that a non-state group was pursuing existentially risky bio capabilities
… anything else?
