I have official permission from my boss to include a section in the paper I'm writing up for our business continuity meeting this afternoon on What The Company Will Do If New York City Is Rendered Inaccessible Due To Giant Monster Attack.

No, seriously, the CFO said I could.


ETA: I will write this up sometime in the next few days, along with our other disaster response plans. Right now the boss just wants something general. Specific actions can follow later, which is good, because my adrenaline's run out.

You have to plan for a lot of things. Not just the stompy tail-smashing fire-breath rampage, but the holy-crap-the-wind rampage and the it-just-dissolved-that rampage. (I always thought Hedorah the Smog Monster was underrated.)

Then you also have to take into account the Previously Secret Government Anti-Monster Force (Mechagodzilla, MOGUERA, Jet Jaguar) and its effects. And you know that the government won't let you sue them for saving you while destroying stuff. Er. Destroying stuff while saving you.

Speaking of holy crap, how big are Godzilla turds? There could be an immense amount of untreated effluvia in the streets.

Are you talking original Godzilla or post-80s-reboot Godzilla? There is a reason I ask.

Original Godzilla, well... let's just say that the word 'boxcars' starts to come to mind.

post-reboot, though, does not eat, just absorbs radiation to sustain himself, and therefore there's nothing to drop.

I was actually using Godzilla as a generic term for any ginormous beastie likely to lay "waste" to NYC.
