Q Shock Strategies

Shock Strategies are a way to prepare before a system, community, organization, or plan is under pressure.

Shocks Q may examine

• Energy or infrastructure disruption
• Drought, wildfire, flood, severe weather, or resource constraints
• Budget cuts, funding freezes, market or supply shocks
• Cyberattack, ransomware, data loss, or provider outage
• Industrial incidents or equipment failure
• Trust, misinformation, legitimacy, or coordination breakdown

The Q approach

Identify critical functions, dependencies, people at risk, early indicators, fallback modes, human authority, recovery assets, and what can be rehearsed before the shock arrives. Scenarios are preparation tools—not forecasts.
