The incident may affect your preps. So checking after an incident makes sense.

Chisel, Max, some time does need to be spent after an incident takes place. What about after when you have a routine going?

Mom is more concerned about zombies than I am; I can understand.

Mom does want to help; she is very cautious almost to the point where everyone, metaphorically, is a potential zombie. To summarize how this appears, it's like a high-risk rescue. You want to rescue those who are in a die situation; you have to be careful that you don't end up in the same condition in the process.

OK, after making sure everything is OK, I would go around seeing if anyone needs help. I am not a skilled guy like paramedic for example, but I know a few bits about safety and would help others who need help especially the elderly or children. This is when a bit of knowledge about psychology is very helpful. If I judge someone as a jerk for example, I will try to steer away and not try to "help" them because that can end up with very negative results.
