For those unfamiliar with severe hurricanes, Irene was either abstract or not particularly frightening, but something to get excited about more than to fear. Given that the way we perceive(感觉) and respond to risk is affective—not merely objectively analytical, but the sum of the facts and how scary those facts feel—it was likely that many people might be ignorant of the storms threat. So it was heartening to see how many people did in fact take the warnings to heart and prepared. The long lines at grocery stores, the high demand for batteries and bottled water, and even the patience and understanding about local government orders to evacuate(撤离) or shut down mass transit systems, show that people took the potential danger seriously. There are two possible lessons from this storm. As much as our affective risk perception system can sometimes produce a dangerous “perception gap” between our fears and the facts—when we sometimes fear more than we need to, or less than we should—its also reasonably good at recognizing risk when its_staring_us_in_the_face. Though most of us didnt lose power, we know that 7 million people did. Though most of us did not suffer property damage, we know that millions did.

The other lesson is that rare risks do hide and can spring up with little or no warning, and few of us are prepared for those. Remember the East Coast earthquake last week? It might have been annoying to wait in line for hours for those extra batteries or food supplies, but it was careful to do so, and its a good idea
