Outside of some incidences like that, most people go out of their way to be altruistic to their neighbor. For reals. My experiences in a community crisis have largely been very positive. Helping neighbors clean away debris. SHARING your ice with the neighbor. That kind of thing.

Interesting. I suppose that could depend on other factors, such as the existing culture/mindset of the affected area and their faith in circumstances eventually improving. Barbarism/violence tends to become more prevalent when people feel (for whatever reason) that they have nothing left to lose.
