The first rule of emergency management, is that emergencies don’t respond well to “management”. . .
“emergencies dont respond well to management. . .”
I had some email friends who lived in Florida. He was former Green Beret and went with a supply truck to deliver emergency goods to people after Andrew Hurricane.
The people rushed the truck, fights started, and it got so dangerous, he got back in the truck and they left. He said he would never do that again.
If a large crowd of thirsty/starving people rush your house because they know you gave away some water/food, you would be over run. I’m locking my front door and have fast way to close out light shining from my house, and I’m not going to the door. I’m just an old lady who lives in that house and she couldn’t have anything anyone wants.
