We’ve had multiple natural disasters across the nation in recent years without the need for gun-toting hordes. Hurricane Sandy, Irene, and Katrine didn’t result in gangs of roving hoodlums ransacking, raping, and murdering (despite media reports exaggerating isolated events of looting or fixating on other reports that some people refused to leave areas because of a fear of looting).

Earthquakes in CA didn’t cause a breakdown of society either. Wildfires in CO? Nope. Not their either. Flooding in the Midwest or South? Nope. Tornadoes across Southeast or Tornado Alley? Not there either.

Simply put, local law enforcement and state national guards have done a pretty good job in maintaining law and order even in areas that suffer from massive natural disasters and that most people are law-abiding.
