1) If it's geostationary, it ain't gonna decay and fall. At least, not for many many many millions of years.

2) There is a sorta reasonable evasive plan: Since the orbital ground track is a known quantity, simply avoid or minimize flight in that (location-time) zone.

All this is of course minimizing the already-insignificant risk.
