NYC Emergency Management: We Are Prepared In The Event Of A Godzilla Attack

"What would a Godzilla attack do? Clearly it would cause fire, explosions, casualties, damage, debris, bridges and tunnels being out. Roads being out, power issues and some slime. Those are issues that we do deal with — except for the slime. In the event of a Godzilla attack, we’d be looking at area evacuations. He’s a big guy, but he’s not going to overtake the entire city, so we would try to determine what sectors of the city had to be moved. We have a system that’s a ‘hub and spoke’ approach. We'd move people to a hub area and try to move them, for example to the Bronx, which is less likely to be impacted." - New York City Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Bruno, speaking to the Daily News, which notes that NYC Alert will send you a text message warning in the event of giant lizards thanks to protocols developed following 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy. The latest incarnation of Godzilla opens tomorrow and Manhattan, which rivals DC as most-destroyed-on-film, does not appear in the movie.
