Very true, but would also depend on our own view of the world. I personally fall into the more cautious category. Maybe has to do with my INTJ personality. Even in normal life, I would need time to be friends with new guys at work or around family. While some people I know, will invite you to dinner the first time you meet them.

Regarding the original question, first thing is to check the preps, check everyone , assess the situation, then make a plan.

Other than looking at the ceiling, I would focus on checking and maintaining the facilities that help us survive like water sources ..etc.
