How can i get prepared for DRUPAL-PSA-2016-001? The PSA for tomorrow left me a bit uncomfortable. Quote:


  The Drupal Security Team urges you to reserve time for module updates
  at that time because exploits are expected to be developed within
  hours/days.


Does it make sense to put all sites in maintenance mode or take them offline precautionary? 
Maybe creating database backups before the announcement takes place isn't a bad idea?

Is there a Drupal way of responding such a pending threat? Or should we just sit and wait what's coming?
1) List all the Drupal 7 projects you maintain.
2) Have a list of used modules by project, you can use fllowing command

 drush pml --no-core --type=module --status=enabled &gt; mylist.txt


3) Once the updates announced, you can search your modules lists to detect which project you really need to update
