Question

How might price controls on gasoline lead to human fatalities in an area where there is an oncoming hurricane

Answer 1

When there is a price control in the market with a hurricane then the price will be set below the equilibrium price in the market, this will reduce the supply and prevent more sellers to sell their goods at a lower price in that area, higher demand and lower supply of goods will cause a shortage of necessary goods in the market, sojme of these goods could be life saver and a shortage of this could lead to black market and non availability will lead to fatalities.
