How can we prepare for shocks? A good start is by collecting data on past events.

I crunched the numbers on my not-very-scientific survey of why people don't plant native plants.
210 people answered this Q. I read through the comments & categorized concerns into 10 categories.
Most common reasons were
1) Lack of Knowledge
2) No Time
3) Money
4) No good source for native plants
