I have honestly wondered whether a rational, amoral planner would be readying the release of some pathogen(s) from which a reasonable number of people would survive.
I wonder what the signs of such preparation would be?
Obviously you would want to make sure that nuclear power stations, refineries and dangerous chemical plants were either capable of a graceful shutdown or that there would be enough trained operators in place.
You would want some sort of armed forces under your control.
Food production chains would need to be local and secured and self-contained.
What else?
