So in the event of a widespread catastrophic event, we regular citizens are on our own. Of course I realize that mobilizing and protecting hundreds of millions during a (say) nuclear attack is just not possible. According to the documentary America's Doomsday Plan (Discovery+), the doomsday plan is in place only the protection of the president, military and other high level government officials, so as to keep government functioning. Their survival depends on "an elaborate, complex network of bunkers, bases and a tricked out airplanes." At least 25 emergency bunkers are located across DC ready to accommodate at a moments notice. Plan B is an air force base in Nebraska that houses 4 Doomsday planes, described as being flying command centers...part Pentagon, part White House. They are touted to be able to withstand a nuclear blast but 3 were disabled by a a tornado, go figure.
I didn't see a trailer for the program but found this.
