Just my opinion here:
Governments are looking at the state of play in certain areas and don't see things improving in the near future.
It's quite likely that shortages ,both in food, and materials, will get worse over time, especially given the weather we've had and what is forecast yet to arrive.
The big tech boys are pushing AI and data centers and there's a lot of stupid money involved - money lost or gained we don't know yet - but the fear is if it's not pushed on with they'll fall behind in the race.
We've already had examples of what could possibly be AI causing disruption by not integrating correctly with older technology, or in fact overloading older systems etc. We've also had the 'hacking' of supermarket freezers etc. and the threat of this becoming worse is there.
The recent instances of tech 'falling over' and infrastructure failing (water/power) is probably more to do with a lack of funding for upgrades and improvements than anything else, and probably coincidence when, given the age of the 'components', a few things go wrong in the same time frame.
Governments can either make people aware they may need to stock up on essentials, or they could just keep quiet and hope nothing happens.
