Ready New York Preparing for Emergency NY but no mention Full Service Trauma Level 1 Hospital W. Village

Suzannah Troy sent this email:


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.
