I saw my first "go bag" psa a couple of days before the blackout, which when remembering that during the blackout made me a wee bit paranoid.

Thanks. Tien Mao has been watching my poor linking skills, so it's fixed now. And The Mother, I KNEW that didn't look like Grand Central, but the AP caption. Bah! I need to get together my go bag. And put spare sneakers in my office.

The "blackout account" link is broken.

First - they're not sleeping on Grand Central's steps - that's the Main Post Office Bldg. behind Penn Station on Eighth Avenue! Second - did anyone do a story at the Bronx Zoo? (they've got electrified fences, gates, etc., as well as an important snake-venom facility which responds to emergencies) Would have been an interesting story!

Have you noticed the increase in ads from NYC government advising residents to put together a "go bag? in case we all have to evacuate?
