And when this assumption is proffered to others, it ensures that there will be many more causalities than need be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As if this writing, FEMA is still proffering a \u201c72-hour\u201d disaster survival kit:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ready.gov\/build-a-kit\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ready.gov\/build-a-kit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess the million-dollar question is; what do these people do in a large-scale disaster after their 3-days-worth of food, water and toilet paper are exhausted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the psychological impact of a local disaster is quite different from that of a continental or global scale disaster. In local or regional (small scale) disasters (tornado, hurricane), survivors know that help will be coming and that affects morale and how most survivors react; there is order and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in the case of a global, national or \u2019continental scale\u2019 event, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/china-coronavirus\/\">Covid-19<\/a>, many survivors will within a few weeks realize that nobody is coming to the rescue, because everyone is suddenly thrust into the same desperate situation. This later situation is a game-changer and will certainly create a level of desperation seldom seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large-Scale Disaster: A Sobering Problem \u2013 Requiring A Different Approach\u00a0 Most survival strategies and related tactics today draw upon the methods that worked in much smaller disasters and will likely work to some extent today in similar small-scale disasters.
