For residents of southern sections of the Miami metropolitan area, the morning\nof 24 August 1992 represented a dramatic discontinuity in the world as they\nknew it. At least temporarily, there were no daily routines or normal lives.\nEveryday activities, such as getting a drink of water, fixing a meal, or taking\na bath, became daunting tasks. The information upon which the routines of\ndaily life had been structured was virtually useless because the "stuff" needed to\nput it to use was no longer available - no electricity, water, gas, telephone,\nrefrigerator, stove, bed, bathtub, room, or for many, even house. There were\nno stores or businesses to buy food, supplies, or services. Schools, hospitals, recreation facilities, entire neighborhoods, were virtually gone. The world was now\nfull of uncertainty; new information was needed - where to find things, how to\nfix things, and how to get things done.
