Victory State Bank’s Natural Gas Generator Offers Peace Of Mind When Island Communities Go Dark

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (Sept. 6, 2011) -- It was barely more than a week ago when wind-rushing Hurricane Irene drenched Staten Island, leaving thousands in the borough without electricity.

Despite the sporadic outages and disruption of local commerce, Victory State Bank shielded its customers from the threat of further economic mayhem with a failsafe system of its own.

A natural gas generator at Victory State’s main office in Great Kills ensured that transactions at the bank would continue uninterrupted should the community go dark; in the wake of the storm, all of the bank’s branches were open and fully operational.
