MAN’SIZED
... to safeguard New York’s Electric, Gas, and Steam Service
To provide New York with utility service... safely and dependably at all times . .. is one of the biggest and most responsible jobs in the world today. The fact that Consolidated Edison has grown and planned ahead throughout the years to meet the ever-growing demands of our great City is . .. may we say with all modesty . .. the best assurance of continued performance and protec- * tion of this vital service during these critical times. As New York City is one of the key points in the nation’s battle of pro duction, it is our chief wartime job to keep our facilities always ready— ‘ always available. Back of the generating plants, the transmission lines, the fuel and other supplies, stands an organization of men and women trained in the traditions of public service, and ready now to safeguard that service, so far as humanly possible, against any hazards that war may create.
Here are some of tlie things we are doing to meet possible emergencies
! ■ In addition to its own network of power lines, supplied from many large central station plants throughout the City, Consolidated Edison has provided for an interchange of electric and gas supply from several sources—when required., Automatic devices help to protect our service against possible interruption. 2 . No group of workers has had better training than Consolidated Edison employees in meeting unforeseen emergencies. To this training we have added special instruction, in the case of certain mobile units, for making speedy repairs to mains, pipes, and cable damaged by bombs. 3 a In case of an air raid or widespread sabotage, the emergency forces of all utilities serving New York C ity would be on the alert. M any months ago, New York’s public u tilitie j unified their emergency mobilization plans in cooperation with the Citizens* Defense Corps — Mayor LaGuardia, commander—Public Works Emergency Division, Major Irving Huie, division chief. The badge shown at the right will be worn by all u tility ,emergency employees when the occasion requires. 4 . Special emergency stations have been set up in strategic locations covering the entire C ity, at which complete tool equipment, supplies, and repair kits are made quickly available to flying squads of trouble shooters. Our emergency J organization, consisting of more than 5,000, has been developed and trained so that competent workers can perform needed tasks quickly without supervision;/ 5 . To prevent possible sabotage, special means have been provided to safe-"| guard all power stations and to detect prowlers aroimd buildings, docks and m yards belonging to the Company. W ith the C ity’s permission, certain street srsr?«.
