MSNBC has a great story
about the efforts hospitals are taking to care for patients in an
adverse situation. Pervasive flooding in New Orleans has cut power to
hospitals creating a need to transfer acute patients somewhere dry,
while new patients continue to come in through Emergency Departments.

Here's a story on the hurricane Katrina's impact on area for-profit hospitals.

This reminds me of past hospital flooding in Houston.
