BUNKER READY IN CASE OF Y2K CRISIS Ohio could direct relief operations from site The Associated Press
DAYTON — State officials are ready to move government operations into “The Bunker” at year's end — just in case the Y2K computer problem turns serious, the Dayton Daily News reported Sunday. Ohio's Emergency Operations Center is in a $13 million concrete structure eight miles northwest of downtown Columbus. Officials plan to start staffing the bunker 12 hours a day on Dec. 29, and 24 hours a day from Dec. 31 until no longer necessary, the Daily News said. enquirer.com
THE OTHER BUNKERS WE'VE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT ...
Under L.A., ready for Y2K! Five stories below the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles there is a secret computer command center -- a command center that has enough power, food and water to sustain 50 people for two years! Message 8179089
Military officials, anticipating possible satellite blackouts and other turn-of-the-century problems have discussed inviting military officials from all the nations with nuclear weapons into a secure nuclear bunker so they can monitor each others' actions and avoid any possible computer glitch-inspired panic, [Senator] Bennett said.> This may also have been in senate testimony last week. nt.excite.com
I imagine that there are a lot of bunkers like this in key areas all over U.S. - and they've been in place for a long time. Only makes sense. We went thru fear of nuclear war in 50-60's. Cold war until recently. Now they're worried about cyber-terrorism and Y2K. So, they're dusting things off, upgrading and re-stocking because of Jan 1, 2000.
