I just received a copy of “Ready New York” Preparing for Emergencies in New York.
Interesting that there is no reference as to predetermining which hospital a family should meet at, in fact they don’t even discuss Hospitals...
In the section “Know the New York City Hazards” they include the following categories
Winter Weather
Severe Weather
Costal Storm’s and Hurricanes
Extreme Heat
Utilities Disruptions
Building Collapses and Explosions
Earthquakes
Fire
Carbon monoxide
Hazardous Materials, Chemical Spills & radiation Exposure
Disease Outbreaks & Biological Events
Terrorism
All of these disasters will require large scale medical services which won’t be available without a proper hospital.
Ready New York also has a pamphlet on Pandemic Flu
I don’t have time to quote it but they do say the hospitals and medical services will be taxed and it could last for months.
I ordered several copies for distribution if anyone wants to come and pick some up let me know.
