Panic Buying in Hawaii Amid Tsunami Warning — Footage by Jack Pollon
Script with Credit:
This video, filmed by Jack Pollon, captures a moment of urgency in Hawaii, where people are seen lining up for supplies in response to a tsunami warning triggered by a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. The scene unfolds in what appears to be a hotel or commercial complex, with both locals and tourists rushing to stock up.
The situation reflects Hawaii’s unique vulnerability during emergencies due to its heavy dependence on imported goods, typically replenished every 5 to 8 days. In such scenarios, fears of supply chain disruption can lead to panic buying, mirroring patterns seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the global toilet paper shortages.
Psychologists have noted that uncertainty and anxiety can drive these behaviors. Research like Bentall et al. (2021) found that higher anxiety levels were linked to over-purchasing of essentials, a trend now resurfacing amid natural disaster threats.
This footage highlights not just the physical risks of tsunamis, but also the social and psychological impact they have on communities far from the earthquake’s epicenter.
