I heard that a hero is a guy who accidentally ran in the wrong direction.

Here in WA, the guy most called a 'hero' would probably be Harry Truman (not the President), a crochety old guy who lived near Mt. St. Helens, and died at 8:32 a.m. May 18, 1980, when he was hit by the blast of the volcano erupting at an estimated speed of 300 mph. What is left of him is currently buried about 150 feet deep, along with his sixteen cats.

He wasn't smart enough to get out of the way of an impending volcanic eruption despite timely warnings. It is said that he thought the predictions were "overexaggerated".

I'm guessing that this guy wouldn't be the best one to base your survival plans on.
