Learn the simple but important steps to take to protect yourself at home, at work, and in your community. Included are lots of concrete recommendations as well as various resources and links to web sites that provide Year 2000 updates, support, and preparedness advice.
Y2K is tackled here from the down-to-earth perspective of being sure you are prepared for a bad winter storm, which it could well be!
As you might expect, Y2K-related computer glitches are covered in detail. But as the authors point out, emergencies can and do happen, unexpectedly, to all of us. So they show folks how to prepare for any unforeseen interruption of power, water, and food supplies whether due to natural catastrophes, like hurricanes and ice storms -- or to human-generated ones, like power failures or economic disasters.
Also included is advice on putting your financial house in order, and getting your workplace and community ready. Even people who think they've heard it all about Y2K will find this to be a handy reference. For example, one section tackles the "Sense and Nonsense" of Y2K: What to worry about (whether your local hospital will be ready) and what not to fear (elevators are not expected to come crashing down). Included, as well, are recommendations of the best books, pamphlets, and Web sites that provide Year 2000 updates, support, and preparedness advice. And at this price, it's an excellent value! -- From the Publisher
These consumer advocates decided to focus their attention on a Y2K publication as a result of their own planning for "the end of the world as we know it," which is how many of the people most worried about Y2K put it. This trio, on the other hand, looks at Y2K as yet another winter storm that they will have to weather in upstate New York, where they live and work. Following their own tips in "How to Tame the Y2K Bug Before It Bites You," the authors feel confident that they are prepared.
