Don't Be Alarmed: Coast Guard Exercises Today in NY Harbor

We received this notification from NYC last night:

The U.S. Coast Guard will be conducting exercises in the East River, Hudson River, and New York Harbor between 9 AM and 3 PM on Tuesday 9/15/09. Expect additional Coast Guard vessel activity in these areas.

This notice is likely aimed at avoiding the panic caused on Sept. 11 when the Coast Guard sent gunboats to the Potomac River in Washington D.C. as part of a training exercise.
