The easiest way to not panic is to always remind yourself, "You don't need to be a hero. It is not your company".
If the company wants to derisk their business, they can hire more people and create systematic safeguards in their services over a long period of time. The return on this investment is theirs. If they don't make this investment, they don't get the returns - simple as that.
If you are afraid of "losing your job" - remember that you might lose your job even if you were the hero because of reasons not really in your control.
The only time to really panic is when your family is under crisis. To prevent your family from going in crisis, you should build safeguards in terms of health, income etc.
Business owners can do the same if they want safeguards. If not, fine, things will just break. And it is NOT an individual engineers problem to fix all of their poor decisions.
