Of course, the Big Apple gets the A-list of monsters. One of the first movie monsters to rampage through Manhattan was King Kong (1933) and this summer they're getting Sharknados!
In case Godzilla is real and does theoretically attack, NYC city officials are prepared... sorta.
New York's Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Bruno stated:
"In the event of a Godzilla attack, we'd be looking at area evacuations... He's a big guy, but he's not going to overtake the entire city, so we would try to determine what sectors of the city had to be moved."
"Clearly it would cause fire, explosions, casualties, damage, debris, bridges and tunnels being out. Roads being out, power issues and some slime. Those are issues that we do deal with — except for the slime."
