"...In the aftermath of natural disasters, most people engage in prosocial, helping behaviors; antisocial behavior is the exception, rather than the rule. The narrative of postdisaster human behavior found in sociological studies is... encouraging: disaster survivors engage in overwhelmingly prosocial behavior and victimsturned-resourceful-first-responders rationally assess danger and work assiduously to save their neighbors and communities."
