      True, evacuating millions isn't easy either. But it is something we will have to consider—esp. with climate change.https://twitter.com/Joseph_Duarte/status/901822412647530497 …

      May we treat Houston much, much better than we did New Orleans, and may we learn from it all. :-(

      Remember: there'll be reports of horrible, Hobbesian behavior in the Harvey aftermath. They'll almost all be wrong! Disasters fuel altruism.

      After Katrina, people displayed enormous solidarity in the Superdome, kept deaths to a minimum. Other claims were wrong, racist and WRONG.

      It's not that everyone is an angel in the aftermath of a disaster—but research & experience is clear: overwhelming numbers rise to occasion.

      BUT: This altruism has a shelf life. Proper recovery will take years. It will be frustrating and exhausting. Choose organizations wisely.

          I suspect it is not so much that altruism has an intrinsic shelf life rather than it subcuums to the ambient extortion of the current order.
