New York City is not lacking in problems: rising crime levels coupled with record-high retirements and resignations from its police force, skyrocketing housing costs, retailers struggling to pay hefty rents, a crumbling infrastructure and Lea Michele coming to Broadway in September to star in “Funny Girl” – okay, that last one isn’t quite in league with the other issues, but you get the idea.
However, the New York City Department of Emergency Management believes there is something more sinister than crime, more crushing than housing costs and more bombastic than Lea Michele – the threat of a nuclear attack. To address this hitherto unconsidered crisis, the department created an online public service announcement on how to respond in the event the Big Apple is targeted with nuclear weapons.
