Normalcy bias

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental

state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to

underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and

its possible effects. This often results in situations where

people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a

larger scale, the failure of the government to include the

populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is

made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster

never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in

the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs.

People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to

something they have not experienced before. People also tend

to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible,

seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.

Occupy Wall Street November 15, 2011 - Police Eviction

New York (CNN) -- Police in full riot gear moved in to New York's Zuccotti Park early Tuesday morning, evicting hundreds of protesters from the site where the Occupy call to action began two months ago before spreading globally.
Dozens of protesters who had camped out at the Lower Manhattan park since September 17 linked arms in defiance. Many chanted,"Whose park? Our park" and "You don't have to do this."
Police arrested at least 14 people, said Kanene Holder, a spokeswoman for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Authorities did not immediately provide figures.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office said the move is temporary.
"Occupants of Zuccotti should temporarily leave and remove tents and tarps. Protestors can return after the Park is cleared," the mayor's office said in a tweet at 1:34 a.m.
About 10 minutes later, the eviction began.
Police handed out notices from the park's owner, Brookfield Office Properties, that said the continued occupation posed a health and fire hazard.
"You are required to immediately remove all property, including tents, sleeping bags and tarps from Zuccotti Park," the note said. "That means you must remove the property now."
The Occupy Wall Street website video streamed the eviction under a banner headline that read, "NYPD is raiding Liberty Square." Liberty Square is the former name of the park.
While many protesters left without resisting, many others moved to the center of the park to an area known as the kitchen. There, they built barricades with tables to keep police away.
The air was thick with smoke, which some protesters said was from teargas that officers lobbed.
Others said officers took thousands of books from the camp's makeshift library and tossed them in Dumpsters.
"In an immense show of force, police have shown their presence," Holder said. "I've seen how agitated the police are, and some pushing and shoving to remove us."
CNN could not confirm those accounts, as police kept journalists a block and a half away from the park during their raid.
Many of the hundreds who left quickly reassembled two blocks away, chanting "We are back together."
By 4:30 a.m., the Lower Manhattan park was clear, with city crews in orange vests sweeping up trash. Tents, blankets, tarps and clothes lay in piles.
The park's owner said protesters will be allowed to return -- but not cannot camp out.
"If you decide to return, you will not be permitted to bring tents, sleeping bags, tarps and similar materials with you," the note said.
Jeremy Baratta, a 32-year-old Army veteran, called the health concerns that authorities cited was a pretext.
