When emergency infrastructure is neglected

I run the county emergency operations center and I have been telling the commissioners for three years that our backup generator will fail during an extended outage but they keep deferring maintenance and now hurricane season is starting and I am planning for the center that coordinates disasters to go dark during a disaster.
