Brexit: What is the EU doing to prepare for no deal?

The impact of Brexit is so far reaching across so many things, and whenever I talk to a leave voter about their reasons for voting, I hear what is important to them. Everyone voted for reasons inside their own little bubble, and forgot the wider impact their choice will have.

I can't blame the individuals entirely, as people were left to vote with very little information, and instead got "Money for the NHS", "tighter borders", and "we will control ourselves" painted on the side of buses. Now a majority of people are surprised when they have to pay for a visa to visit Spain, or how much harder it will be to get imported goods.

I doubt 6 months will be enough of a grace period to properly address the issues faced by the three areas mentioned in the article. It sounds like it will have to be business as usual in some ways, as both sides have to permit the other to carry out their business, perhaps with different regulations, or tighter restrictions.

At least it's creating some job openings in other European countries
