Wicomico Youth & Civic Center to be Unavailable to Residents on September 23rd
Preparations for the emergency generator will power down the center temporarily
(Salisbury, MD) On September 23rd, 2008, the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Box Office walk-in ticket sales and recreation registration will not be available. Tickets for commercial events will still be available on-line at www.wicomicociviccenter.org
The Offices and Box Office of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center will be closed due to the installation of electric switch gear that will be able to accept the emergency generator installation. The scope of work will require that the building's electric service be shut off for a minimum of a half day. The decision to shut off the power in the morning from 8am to 12 Noon was made by Delmarva Power.
The Emergency Generator is due to be delivered and installed in early December but no further electrical disruptions are anticipated. The generator is being installed to generate sufficient electric to accommodate police, public health, and Red Cross services during emergencies.

I think the facilties should be and would be better organized working through the National Guard. Disasters, search and rescue is what they do, dire situations are what they are specially trained to address.
They also have plenty of generators and operations to set up communications with multi government level procedures.
Remember what happened at the Super Dome in New Orleans after Katrina? It had to be condemed and evacuated.
you obviously have no experience in disaster planning or response. search and rescue is totally different from sheltering evacuated residents. the generators they have can not just be "plugged in" as there is a lot more to it.
