I think neutral for the most part. Depending on the scenario, I envision that in most situations where things go crazy, we won't really know when help or normalcy is right around the corner.
So, while I may want to help people, I won't know that the food I share with them today will not come from my kids mouth 2, 3, or 4 weeks from then.
I would feel crappy about denying somebody that I wanted to help food/water they really needed and wind up with plenty of excess when normalcy returns. But that would be nothing compared to my kids going hungry and suffering because I miscalculated and figured we'd have more than enough.
As far as protecting others.....if I am pretty certain I can do so without risking me or mine, I will likely help others who I believe deserve it.
