      Guiliana mentioned it a couple days ago on C-Span and I have some 
buddies from the old days in both NYPD and FDNY, among others. I'd have 
to look around, but IIRC there was one in the Bronx and I can't remember 
the other one. There was also one known as a "virtual command post" that 
I never got a real good handle on what that was in real life, so I did 
not mention it. 
   Although reading what I said above. I meant to say Three scattered, 
not three others. 
   Anyway, this isn't all that unusual, if anything the LACK of 
different sites would have been unusual. . When I was working for the 
Mayor's Office in Ft. Wayne, IN (and this was back in the mid-70s) they 
had remote command and communications system available in that 
relatively small city that far back. This was just common sense since 
you never know what weirdness may happen anywhere. Floods, tornadoes, 
and snow storms in the midwest, for instance, might take out the main 
crisis response area right in the middle of a crisis. About the only 
time I can support redundancy in government (grin).
