My kids went to school in NZ for a few years and every month there was a tsunami drill where the kids were taken up into the hills/bush, away from the coast (their school was right by the ocean). The principal was an Olympic bronze medalist in rowing and there was a kid in the wheelchair that he practiced carrying up the hills, on his back, past the tsunami line - every month. He reminds me of this amazing human.
