a few environmental justice issues with Hurricane Irene?
no power outages in Manhattan; thousands in other boroughs.
public housing authority residents told to evacuate, rather late, because the city was basically turning off their buildings.
private security, hired by individuals, buildings, and corporations, are allowed in evacuation zones - so we're going straight to 'splintered' unequal resource allocation.
