Prepare for crisis now
Will your whole family think
clearly and logically in a crisis?
Not many of us can So do your
logical thinking now - when you
have the time to be thorough.
Most people are aware of the
concerns for the potential problems
that may occur in the first few
hours, days or weeks as we enter
the new millennium. It is likely that
little if anything will occur that
would affect most people.
However, it will be winter and if
there are problems related to the
Y2K situation it is important that
you are prepared. Utilities, such as
heat, electricity and telephones may
be interrupted.
Whenever this happens, either
because of weather conditions such
as an ice storm, or meso-cyclone,
