User ID: 1265551 United States 02/15/2011 09:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | New York State Public Health Legal Manual - New York Releases Apocalypse Guide - WTF! It’s got an unassuming title, but the “New York State Public Health Legal Manual” might just be the scariest book of the year. It’s the state’s official legal guide to cataclysmic disaster, outlining in dry legalese what to do if, for example, there isn’t enough medicine to treat everyone in a biological terror attack, the New York Times reports. It also covers the legal nuances of seizing property, slaughtering infected livestock, forcing evacuations, and warrantless searches. “It is a very grim read,” says one the courts’ chief of operations. Major disasters like terrorist attacks and mass epidemics raise confounding issues for rescuers, doctors and government officials. They also pose bewildering legal questions, including some that may be painful to consider, like how the courts would decide who gets life-saving medicine if there are more victims than supplies. But courts, like fire departments and homicide detectives, exist in part for gruesome what-ifs. So this month, an official state legal manual was published in New York to serve as a guide for judges and lawyers who could face grim questions in another terrorist attack, a major radiological or chemical contamination or a widespread epidemic. Quarantines. The closing of businesses. Mass evacuations. Warrantless searches of homes. The slaughter of infected animals and the seizing of property. When laws can be suspended and whether infectious people can be isolated against their will or subjected to mandatory treatment. It is all there, in dry legalese, in the manual, published by the state court system and the state bar association.

I spoke about these creepy end of the world commercials on television. I guess we should start getting ready, they probably don't want everyone to know because people do need to die (there are too many People for them to control effectively). I'm from New York City (Manhattan), this is scary and eye opening news for me. I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government, said by Henry David Thoreau. |

Should be called the book to deal with budget cuts and more citizens requiring help. Soon there will be 1/4x resources to deal with 4x the people. Et sceleratis sol oritur. |
