What is the trope for preparing yourself for a danger coming.

Example: the survivors barricade themselves in a building and desperately scavenge for supplies, knowing that a horde of zombies is coming their way, because zombies go towards sound, and a gun was fired.

Sounds like just a specific form of Race Against The Clock. I don't know if there's anything more specific in that in the exact sense you are looking for.

That helped a lot, thanks. It led me to the tropes I was looking for.

What's the one where a guy gets knocked so hard into a wall/floor/whatever and the concrete/stone/bricks break?

Depending on how they play it it's probably a variation on either Impact Silhouette or Ground Shattering Landing as the two most common ones.

You might also want to check out Crater Power (possibly combined with Grievous Harm With a Body) or Hammered Into the Ground for some other possibilities as well.
