It is the volatility of human nature and emotion that ultimately dictates the way in which this type of emergency will play out. It is imperative to remember that the welfare and safety of all could be seriously breached during such an incident. Do not act in such a manner that may exacerbate the threat or cause it become a catalyst for life threatening outcomes.
