Preventing and Treating Hypothermia Alert to NY residents Sandy aftermath
Good luck all!!! New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has warned residents of the risk of hypothermia as temperatures plunge amid the aftermath of superstorm Sandy. Temperatures are set to plunge to 2 Celsius overnight in the area, as some residents remain without gas for heating or electrical power. Mr Bloomberg said that the Long Island Power Authority (Lipa) \"has not acted aggressively enough\" to restore power to storm-hit residents in the region. He called it \"unacceptable\" that the worst-hit areas were not given priority for repairs, as some residents are told it could take two weeks to restore power. Earlier on Saturday New Jersey governor Chris Christie announced a decision to cut natural gas supplies to the Barrier Islands, due to the risk of explosions caused by gas leaks.
