What is becoming more and more realistic is that the vast incorporation of health systems across the USA will not be able to take care of people when infrastructure fails. Small community hospitals where there is every service of medical and surgical practices; needs to return to local hospitals that provide well being to people as storms continually impact infrastructure of transportation.
While Governors and Mayors are on the subject of creating local authority to maintain people's health when cut off from the corporate structures, they will want to address keeping local economies at all cost. The local economies will survive where others won't.
A good project for the US Army Corp. will be to disasemble the USA and/or allies into areas where infrastructure will fail and isolate towns from essential services. In that, the future needs of the people can be realized in a world that is highly disruptive to a once civilized society.
Every human need will have to be available in local economies so that when isolation occurs there will be services that support life.
This is going to be the toll of the climate crisis and it is serious. Long haul trucking may become obsolete and ports only effective for the local region. The USA is going to have to be self-sufficient in all it's needs. It is the way of the future and it may as well start now before planning is too late and lives are in danger in isolation from transportation of people and goods.
It is difficult to turn a big boat around, but, that is exactly what governance has to do and quickly. No different than Earth's physics, the economy of the USA is in peril due to the climate crisis. The people are important and supporting them into new realities whereby local areas are self-sufficent is vital to the stability of the people in their abilities to survive into the future.
