Mayor - Go to Media Center and issue statement to allay public panic. A local radio talk show is receiving a string of callers who state they believe the government is lying about what is happening, and that it is the beginning of the end. The Veterans Hospital has lost power and its emergency backup system is not functioning. It is requesting assistance with evacuation of 30 seriously ill patients. The gas main has been turned off.
Power is out and an emergency crew is replacing the damaged electrical equipment.
The building is clear of victims except those in the elevator. Consider counter measures to address the issue of trust. Determine which hospitals may still have power and can receive patients. IC - Address rescue of victims in elevator. Action 4B Resources - Assist with transportation.
