- Abstract
Preparing for catastrophic events necessitates understanding the dynamic interplay between perceived reality and the objective world. However, severe crises can disrupt this process, leading to cognitive impairments and fear-driven responses. The gap between perceived reality and the actual world becomes pronounced during significant crises, prompting debates between restoration and transformative change. Historical examples, like post-war reconstruction efforts, illustrate the potential for constructive change post-crisis. Relying solely on catastrophic events for change has risks due to human suffering. Bridging this gap requires recognizing existing limitations and committing to transformative shifts. Learning from smaller disruptions and treating outliers as early warning signals can inform proactive risk mitigation. Viewing crises as part of a continuum of environmental variation underscores the need for holistic, adaptive strategies.
