Severe emotional responses are inevitable after a disaster. The faces with blank stares like those on combat soldiers. The faces with tears and no sound coming from their mouths. The face with searching eyes looking for another familiar face. There are distant sounds of screaming sirens and the sight of flashing lights.
Traffic is jammed all around.
Roads are blocked. People walk, run, and wander without direction. And then you hear a call for help. If you wait it may go out of print or may be difficult or impossible to obtain when you really need it.
