The tendency in the 21st century is to institutionalize and roll over various local and international "states of emergency" making them suspiciously permanent.

Preparation for Disasters and Emergencies includes CoG, emergency legislation, suspension of democracy, social control, crowd control and importantly funding with special financial instruments. The tendency in the 21^st century is to institutionalize and roll over various local and international "states of emergency" making them suspiciously permanent.

Another important tendency is to prepare for disasters which occur with statistical predictability from time to time in such a way, that the pre-planned reaction to the event is more harmful than the actual disaster itself when it happens.

In other words, in some types of disasters the enemy image is drastically inflated, demonized and not unlike wars, arms races are promoted. But similar to drug overdose in medical care, overreaction might be fatal, when such a paranoid ideation prevails. Analysts of deep statecraft come to the uncomfortable conclusion, that such an outcome must have been intended in some cases, when in hindsight the long term orchestrated effort comes to the surface.

Funding

Preparation for and reaction to Disasters includes funding with special financial instruments, i.e. governments accepting debts and central banks printing money. These funds flow toward tax exempt foundations and profiteers from crisis (deemed system relevant), who lobbied for preparation in the first place. Consequently, all sorts of crisis are seen as catalytic events for monopolizing power, control and profits by these NGOs and businesses.

This self-enforcing mechanism is known as moral hazard in financial theory, resulting in reduced risks for investors.

When the "solution" is the problem

Moral hazard is an example, when the proposed financial "solution" makes matters worse in the long run. Vaccines may kill more people than the disease, aerosols may cause climate change rather than prevent it, drugs sales increase in the face of hard-nosed prohibitions and "terrorism" might well be the result of the "war" against it. Paul Watzlawick attributes this phenomenon to common thinking errors in humans, but it might as well be a strategy for manipulating the masses, as Berne described it in the popular game: I'm only trying to help you!.

Taken one step further, peace-makers and critics may then be accused of being irresponsible, immoral, unpatriotic or insane for not recognizing the imminent urgency and danger. Paranoid psychopaths and criminals will go as far as to "prove their point" by "making it happen on purpose" (Daniele Ganser). As Putin put it: "I would have found WMD's." (Regarding Colin Powell's failure to produce evidence for a casus belli to invade Iraq).

Dual Security Structure

Full article: Terrorism/Preparation#Dual_Security_Structure

The US developed a ‘dual security structure’ that included both defensive forces and offensive units that would regularly challenge the defensive force structures. Such dramatic operations are conducted as realistic exercises (‘train as you fight’), but in the mass media they are presented as enemy attacks or intrusions.

In 2000, US Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger confirmed that "... the US had specifically tasked units to play the role of enemy forces. These would secretly attack Western defenses worldwide in order to ‘regularly’ and ‘frequently’ test their capabilities and increase their state of readiness (...) and all this was done on a regular basis and on an agreed upon basis."

Need to know basis

"Big" exercises may have smaller ones under its umbrella. The date might be picked according to foreknowledge of impending disasters to make the drill more realistic. Hand picked military personal might know, but even governments are kept in the dark: In 2020, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (slip of the tongue) tacitly admits in a somewhat contradictory statement that the COVID-19 is a “Live Exercise”, an “Operation”:

“This is not about retribution,... This matter is going forward — we are in a live exercise here to get this right.” To which president Trump retorted “you should have told us”. 

COVID-19 as "exercise"?

Based on a compartmentalized need to know basis, larger prep effords may contain smaller exercises under its umbrella, realistically simulating threats. Politicians as well as the general public may be unaware of the real nature and blurring of boundaries between real disasters and prep effords.

In a leaked internal report Germany’s Ministry of the Interior speaks of a global false alarm, with the significance to highlight vulnerabilities and weaknesses of critical intrasructure in case of a "real pandemic"(p. 2 of the report) or real emergency. COVID-19 is labeled as a test case for perparedness and resiliance in case of a "bioterrorist attack", the report cites UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
