oh yeah! if it’s 備えをしようor 備えをしましょう, it being in volitional form would match some other stuff on the calendar, so that definitely makes sense
(今からやってみよう and つなごう, so maybe it is implying plain form?)

I interpreted the に differently and came up with almost the opposite meaning:
Be prepared for good times
(i.e. don’t worry about the present bad times, better times will come)
But I agree that your translation makes more sense as a proverb.

Nice to learn that 注意する mostly uses に though

Yah.
Often these signs use pure kanji (i.e. on the lines of 熊出没注意), but when a particle shows up, it’s に.

With your full effort, you were able to produce a Zen lock (ぜんりょく). It’s a lock imbued with the power of Zen, meaning no one and nothing could possibly break it. It’s the one lock to rule them all.
