The arctic seed bank that was going to save us all is flooding

No. Monsanto is interested in you buying their specific GM feed corn,
engineered for your rough global area (up to and including country-scale or
larger). ALL of your feed corn, as well as their glyphophosphate
herbicide. And so it goes, for every GM crop and its proprietor,
human-edible or not. Their products cover vast swathes of cropland.

Nor are many modern GM crops really appropriate for a "disaster-proofing"
setting. What, exactly, is glyphophosphate-resistant corn going to do for
anyone, in such a situation? You apparently have an inflated impression of
GM’s actual uses. Most disease resistance, for example — in fact, nearly
all — comes from traditional breeding and/or splicing methods, not GM
techniques, as well as most increases in yield.
