A few years back A flood caught Houston sleeping. Flood water entered
the basements of major building and hospitals. These facilities all
had standby diesel powered electric generators located in the basement
adjacent to the incoming underground electric power service and
switchgear. Supposedly, thereafter, every city and hospital was
notified of the potential risk of locating standby power supplies
below grade level where flood waters can disable generators and
swithgear. Storm doors and larger sump pumps were later added after
the recovery.
Only a small segment of New Orleans should ever be rebuilt. There is
no way to provide protection for future flooding unless the city is
rebuilt upon the mother of all gambling casino barges... hmmm !
