Disaster Management Group Releases New Preparation Book for the Millennium, "Y2K Ready or Not?"

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 1999--Most people by now have heard of the Y2K computer problem. Many, however, have little idea how it could affect their daily lives if even a small percentage of computers fail in the United States or in other countries around the world.

Y2K Ready or Not?, published by the Disaster Management Group based out of Atlanta, Ga., explores some of the possible scenarios that one could face in the new millennium and offers easy to follow recommendations and solutions. (Also serves as an excellent resource guide for any disaster, natural or man-made.)

The book is a great asset in helping the reader understand what the implications of Y2K could be and in developing a plan of action. Useful categories include: Computers, Electricity, Water, Food, Finances and Medical needs.

Y2K Ready or Not? Explains what you need to know to protect your family, how to protect your assets and business and what to do if interruptions should occur.

``What we've done is to give the average person a genuinely useful reference and resource guide by distilling down thousands of hours of research into a concise and user friendly format. We basically wanted to eliminate all the hype and techno-babble and let the facts speak for themselves. This is not another Y2K Doomsday Book, it is meant to be a practical tool packed with vital information people actually need,'' says John Mack, a principle in The Disaster Management Group with 18 years experience in the computer industry.

The easy to use handbook includes such appendices as a city by city utilities report, backup power and utility options, a list of CIO (chief information officer) contacts for each state, a wattage chart for household appliances and electronics and a list of worldwide short-wave radio frequencies. The appendix also includes three day and 30-day personal Y2K checklists and an extensive resource guide of stores and retail outlets that provide the possible necessities to comfortably survive Y2K or any disaster.

The Disaster Management Group is offering for free, a practical guide to water contamination and water purification. It is available directly from its web site at www.y2ksource.net or via mail. Just send a stamped self-addressed envelope to H2O report c/o Disaster Management Group.

The members of the Disaster Management Group: John Mack, Mark Stephens, and Allen Edwards have a combined 38 years of experience in the computer industry. This experience and thousands of hours of hands-on research have gone into the making of this informational handbook. The authors provide practical guidance for what to do, what is needed and where to find it for Y2K!
