I think it is partially a naive belief that disasters only happen to the other guy.


And an equally naive belief that it is the governments job to take care of everybody, and the absurd belief that the government can.


This, I agree, is the winning trifecta. Not only for our society now, but for every society in the past that has had a woefully unprepared population. The differences now that make it harder to excuse are the wide availability of good information, and the equally wide availability of supplies and gear that could save lives.
