Also, if you haven't read it already, check out the International Association of Firefighters' webpage on Y2K:

New Y2K training materials, slides, case studies, etc. from the International Association of Firefighters. This is an excellent resource from a very reputable organization. These are the men and women who will be on the frontlines of any Y2K-related incidents (from fires resulting from home storage of gasoline to toxic releases resulting from process control failures). Please check it out at: http://www.iaffhazmat.org/html/y2k__preparedness.html

Why not mail a copy of the Y2K Awareness slides to your local firestation? Or to a small chemical company in your neighborhood?

Some really useful resource material for companies and public officials at all levels of government, as well as anyone who works in or lives near a chemical facility, an oil or gas pipeline, or other hazardous material site or facility.
