The document discusses whether to evacuate or stay in an apartment in NYC during the impending Hurricane Irene. Mayor Bloomberg has issued a mandatory evacuation order for zones including where the apartment is located. The options presented are either staying in the apartment and risking power outages and flooding, or evacuating to a friend's apartment which could also face power issues but is less likely to flood.

THE STATE OF NY...
“Because Irene is now bearing down on us at
a faster speed than it was yesterday, we are
changing a few things. We are today issuing a
mandatory - I repeat the word mandatory -
evacuation order for all New Yorkers who live
in the low-lying Zone A coastal areas in all
five boroughs that are at greatest risk of
damage relating to Irene, and we're adding to
that the rest of the Rockaways, some of
which are not Zone A, but are Zone B”
