City Of Beverly: help needed on '"hidden" stuff, imbedded chips, traffic controllers, police and fire equipment'

Typical request for help from local government

John

______________

Hello all,

As a member of the (now defunct) City Of Beverly
Computer Commission, I have been asked to look into the Y2K
issues Beverly may face. Now, I am not to concerned about
the computer department itself. They are doing a fine audit
now,but I want to help with the "hidden" stuff, imbedded
chips, traffic controllers, police and fire equipment, JIT
delivery vendors, elevators, etc.


Is anyone else looking at local towns and cities and the
impact of Y2K on them?

We want to meet with department heads, educate them to
potential issues, help them develop an audit of Y2K related
equipment and services, and draft compliance letters for
them to send to vendors.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. can anyone point me to a Y2K disaster plan hospitals
are doing for social services, or maybe a Civil Defense
plan?

Thanks

Gardner
