I have been assigned the project of updating my department's emergency plan. It will be quite a bit of work, but should be fun. But one problem I have encountered already: How do we keep our cars running in a power failure? We have an emergency gas supply at a nearby fire station, and it can be hand pumped if necessary, but our station is on the other side of a major freeway from the fire house. If we loose a couple of overpasses, our jurisdiction is cut in half. And this is earthquake country. Does anyone here know of a pump that can be put down into the underground tanks at a gas station to keep our fleet moving?
