New York City’s Office of Emergency Management has apparently decided that a blackout might be a bad thing. So the City is paying the Army Corps of Engineers to study places that might be vulnerable to a power outage and suggest ways to respond. Like, you know, bringing in generators.
The Daily News takes a look at contingency plans for the new Fulton Fish Market:
The Hunts Point market handles all the fresh seafood in the New York region. A 10-day blackout there – like the one that crippled Long Island City and Astoria in Queens in 2006 – would leave thousands of city restaurants in the lurch.
That’s right: no increased oversight for Con Ed, but we’ll pay the Army to make sure the City’s restaurants get their fish.
