Cushions
1. Stockpiling. This method of cushioning is a way of saving current goods for use in the future, acting as a buffer between price shocks and natural disasters.
2. Transitional Assistance. This form of cushioning takes into account externalities by new government policies and projects that adversely affect the public.
3. Cash Grants. Here, the government supplies programs that allow those members of the public that receive them to spend the grants, freely, on purchases they will need. One of the goals of this plan is to raise incomes, promoting the economy.
