Under the new rules, all of the state’s assisted-living facilities and nursing homes will have 60 days to obtain what the governor’s statement called “ample resources” that will “sustain operations and maintain comfortable temperatures” for at least four days after a power failure. Those resources, the statement said, include a generator and fuel.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/16/us/nursing-homes-florida-scott.htmlProviding enough generator capacity for just some of the HVAC load is a large,
expensive undertaking. To be done properly, it takes time to do the engineering and electrical work. 60 days would be impractical even if the state wasn't torn apart and already short of needed contractors. And that's if the facility had the money.
Just another politician covering his butt.
