Do not Let your Common Sense Die in a Crisis

When it comes to the crisis, we all think of hurricane, storm, flood, earthquake, fire, and flood. These are the situations in which we should stay active and vigilant. Sometimes, the case is different. We do some stupid things in a crisis unknowingly, or out of panic. People should behave carefully during an emergency. But, many of us lost our intellect and sense during a crisis.

I have seen many people who drive to a flood area. Even rescue teams say to the people not to drive in emergency places, but many people lost their sense and do stupid things. Well, when you need to stay away from the emergency area, people knowingly go there. In the places of a flood, kids go there to play or just to see the overflow, this is an idiotic idea, by the way. When a person knows that a particular zone is facing a flood, then why does he go there. Isn’t it an idiot thing to even think of? Yes, it is, but sometimes, people forget about the consequences they would face there. Moreover, they purposely drive in the crisis places for making the videos, or just to see the damages.

After any crisis, when we the pictures on social media, many people get into the rage to see the stupidity of the people. However, many rescue teams ask them to stay in during a tornado or overflow. People are now confused about these situations.

Many people do not evacuate their houses during a storm, earthquake, or flood. The reason is that the warning of natural disasters needs more days than expectations, and people do not want to leave their houses for such a long period. Well, this is the high level of stupidity. You should evacuate your house immediately when you see an emergency. If you do not want to leave your home, think of your kids. They cannot live in the house in this situation. When a zone faces an emergency like earthquake or flood, the threats remain there for a long time. However, until you have not heard the news of safety, stay out of your homes. Stay in the shelters, community building, and government spaces.

Therefore, stay updated with the weather forecast news. Be in touch with the general news and do listen to the radio. Moreover, whenever you listen to warning news, do not think what if it would not happen. Ignorance can kill you and your family. Do not make your assumptions. Use your common sense, if the forecast is giving you a threat, then do not take it lightly. It is for your best interest. Do not think that a tornado or flood will come and cause no damage. Oh! Please use your common sense. You do not know how massive it could be and how dangerous it could be. Yes, there would be chances that it will cause minimum damages, but you do not know it. You will know once the storm or flood will hit the area. Thus, do not do stupid things. Do not drive to risky areas. Evacuate your homes before the deadline of the threat. Do it for the sake of your kids and family. The weather forecasts are not a joke. Do not take the weather warnings lightly.

Do not Believe in Your Data

Well, many people do not believe the experts and weather forecast news. People think that the experts are just lying, or they do not know anything true. They believe in their data or experiences. Many people think that their personal experience could tell them better than experts. Well, this is the point when you lost your common sense. Do believe in the expert’s opinion. They know far better than you. Your experience is just a one- or two-time incident. But, the experts have whole life experience with these types of situations.
