Hospital Generators and Water

U of MN Fairview Hospital's Dan Johnson Powers is featured in a KARE11 video:  "Twin Cities Hospitals plan ahead for Disaster"   A hospital in New York had to move patients to a different hospital when two of their generators failed due to water damage from Hurricane Sandy.  Dan showed generators on the upper floors of a local hospital and provided information on generator testing and how long it would take to transfer patients in the event of a power outage.  Most of the emergency equipment in a hospital has a 4 hour back up power supply.
