There's nothing you could do in case of a worst case event. The only really stable solution would seem to go postbiological as soon as possible, and hope that the technology is very tightly controlled during the migration phase. I don't believe in Blue Goo until its efficaciousness has been shown by modelling (here for once I'm not clamoring for empirical validation); intuitively due to situation's assymetry Blue seems to be in an intrinsically weaker position. Nothing at all can be done against a Blight (hard Singularity).
After migration is completed, the situation appears containable. Don't let the interesting times get you before, that's all.
