TADSLOS :" It’s not the event that kills so many,
it’s the crazy people.
THIS.

Needs to be repeated :

" It’s not the event that kills so many,
... it’s the (other) crazy people !"

Right,.. and panic brings out the craziness in unprepared people.
That's why you need flexibility, and a 'Plan B', and 'Plan C', etc.
Having alternative plans almost always lowers stress while in crisis.

Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.

Even your friendly neighbors will go crazy on you.
