Y2K Planning

["Mike Histed" <mhisted@uottawa.ca>]

Good Morning Everyone

Haven't seen much activity on the listserv lately, so here is a 
question for you all.  We are starting to prepare a contingency plan 
for the upcoming Y2K.  No-one seems to know for sure what exactly is 
going to happen, however, I believe that one should be prepared 
nonetheless.

Therefore, we are preparing a contingency plan based on scenarios 
that we may be without hydro, water or gas for hours, days or weeks, 
and which would impact critical systems, e.g., animal care areas, 
walk-in freezers, alarm systems, communications systems, heating, 
etc.

Are any other Universities preparing similar plans, or are you 
assuming that your existing contingency plans will cover the Y2K 
scenario.  I would welcome hearing from any of you, privately or on 
the listserv, with suggestions, ideas or comments.

Thanks

Mike
