Living One Disaster After Another, and Then Sharing the Experience I believe that under the right conditions, human nature is selfless and not selfish. Human nature is social, not antisocial. nytimes.com I looked long and hard, for instance, at Department of Homeland Security documents on prevention, response and countermeasures. I've looked for some mention of the public. I found lots of references to "fear" and "panic" and to "first responders," i.e., organizations and officials. There's little recognition of the role of everyday people in disaster preparation and response — families, schools, church groups, people at their workplaces. TP
