Mumbai's chaotic Tuesday proves once again that only with discipline and good disaster response, will we be able to combat the worst this season brings upon us.

For discipline, the onus falls on people who have shown big hearts and presence of mind, plus a willingness to help when the city struggles in the throes of a downpour and flooding. Let us desist from fanning the flames, which can turn into an inferno of misinformation thanks to the Internet. Mindless and unchecked forwards creating panic and exacerbating alarm should be avoided.
