在防疫期間，「超前部署」此一用語常見諸報章，成為台灣很夯的熱詞 (buzzword):
超前部署並非2020 年才出現的用語，以下為一些過去台灣政府官員曾使用「超前部署」的語境：
總統馬英九今天指出，八八風災帶來很大教訓，應落實災害防救工作……料敵從寬，禦敵從嚴，超前部署……2010 年 5 月 26 日，《中央社》

行政院副院長張善政……表示，蓮花颱風速度雖然減緩……料敵從嚴，並以超前部署為原則……2015 年 7 月 7 日，《新聞傳播處》
《今日科學》有篇文章 “Outbreak science: Infectious disease research leads to outbreak predictions” 就提到做好預判，有利政府防疫的「超前部署」:
Infectious disease outbreaks, whether they be widespread like Influenza or fairly geographically restricted like Ebola, may be difficult to prevent . . . if we can forecast outbreak potential in time, public health officials and governments can preemptively prepare for a potential outbreak event.
傳染病爆發，無論是像流感那樣全面，或像伊波拉那種侷限某些地理區域，都很難預防— 然而，如果我們可以及時預知（疾病）爆發的可能，公衛當局和政府便可以為潛在的疫情爆發提前部署。
Science Daily, January 8, 2020
所以「超前部署」若是在「防災／防疫」的語境下，可譯為preemptive preparation 或 preemptive preparedness，如果用作動詞，可以說 preemptively prepare for (an outbreak, etc.)。
《世界雜誌》上有位作者提到 preemptive 和 preparation 的差異，她說 preemptive 的弦外之音是 heading off something undesirable（避凶／避災）：
“Preemptive” and “preparation” both refer to work done ahead of time in order to be ready for something that will or may come. “Preemptive” carries the additional sense of heading off something undesirable. One “prepares” for a camping trip; one “preempts”the flu by getting a vaccination.
“Preemptive preparation” by Andree Seu Peterson, World, March 7, 2014
當然「超前部署」英文也可以有別的表達方式，如：plan(ning) way in advance, plan(ning) way ahead of time 等。若使用 Google search，會發現不同的用法都有一定的使用比例。
不過 plan(ning) way in advance 及 plan(ning) way ahead of time 比較常用在為結婚、度假、活動、事業發展提早做準備，不像 preemptive preparation，有為「避災／避凶」而提前做好應變計畫 (contingency plan) 的意味。
由於新冠疫情，「超前部署」這一時髦詞彙，已成為流行語，用於比較輕鬆的場合，甚至廣告文案、行銷上。某個學會的理監事會上，承辦下一屆研討會的學校代表報告籌備進度，因為那研討會一年半後才要召開，有老師就開玩笑說：「真是超前部署！」在這種情境下「超前部署」就不宜譯為 preemptive preparation，而是 plan(ning) way in advance 及 plan(ning) way ahead of time 更合適了。

People desire a sense of purpose in their lives, but they often remain idle unless they have a clear reason to act. This concept is illustrated by the retirement paradox. People work hard to prepare for a future without work but find life meaningless after achieving that goal. A study was carried out to determine if a reason, even a minor one, could encourage idle people to take action. __1__ Upon finishing the first, they were instructed to drop it off at a location either right outside the room or at a spot farther away, which would take around

Researchers also discovered that students who walked farther reported feeling happier during the wait. __3__ Idleness aversion can be applied in various settings. For example, Uber uses animations and real-time updates to keep customers from being bored while waiting. It can also be used in the design of office buildings to reduce elevator traffic. During busy times, it takes a while to wait for an elevator. __4__ Recognizing the power
