Nothing about water, but scanner said Bellevue requests oxygen from NYFD, and says they only have 1 hour of fuel left for generators. May need mass evacuation.

SERIOUSLY, this does not sound like the government was prepared at all! Did they think these hospitals would be undamaged?

Terrible time to be evacuating!

Requesting #30(?) fuel in say 5 gallon containers. Needs to go to the 13th floor where the generators are. Used 30 gal. per hour. Requesting nat’l guard to help carry them up.

Another place had an electrical system under the sidewalk on fire. All they could do was rope it off, “no ETA” (assume that means no help available to respond at the time.

Some things CAN be prepared for (like having more than 4 hours of fuel on hand for a hospital). However, the thing about these HUGE disasters - they are HUGE. No matter how many fire fighters, trucks, etc. - they WILL be overwhelmed.

What bothers me is they need to respond to the idiots that get stuck in an elevator, or try to drive on the flooded streets and get stuck or washed away.

Prayers up for all in harm’s way.
