Suddenly when people are unable to obtain these “basic needs” people do things that would otherwise be considered crazy. Such was the case in NYC and the surrounding areas. There were numerous people offering sex for gasoline on Craigslist. Others are offering silver and gold for gas and other basic necessities. All of this only one week into the disaster in one of the most civilized countries in the world. Our government has not collapsed, our country is not in chaos, yet these poor people are suffering. Hundreds of trucks and tens of hundreds of workers flowed in from electric providers all over the USA to help restore power.
Learn from the Past, or...
Let me begin by saying that this article in no way means to criticize the people who have suffered desperately in a disaster zone.
As a proactive trainer in risk management and loss prevention we know that the only way to reduce future loss and suffering is to study the past, implement procedures, standards, and plan for future events in order to minimize or maginalize potential disaster. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy there were major failures of basic infrastructure.
Millions of people throughout the north eastern part of the USA went without power and other vital services. A week after the storm over 700,000 still had no power. Major portions of the natural gas infrastructure had to be abandoned in an unprecedented move to rebuild service.
