There are plenty of emergency command centers all around the country--many are earthquake proof and secure--they exist to provide communications centers for emergency relief operations, such as for hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. They are NOT bunkers, with all the military connotations, and nothing is being constructed specifically for Y2K, though many of them will be used as data collection centers over the date transition as part of the national reporting effort coordinated by the ICC and, in most states, carried out by the emergency management office.
