'Mission Established in 1998, CY2KR is a grassroots, educational, multi-service membership organization dedicated to helping individuals / families / communities prepare for, and recover from the disruptions of the "Millennium Bug". Although many citizens are beginning to recognize the seriousness of the Y2K problem, few of us have the time to do the necessary "legwork" - to adequately research, evaluate, and implement an effective preparedness plan. And that's where Citizens for Y2K Recovery can help you. Acting as a clearinghouse, we systematically gather, distill, and organize relevant information and convert it into a practical, easy-to-use format. We emphasize the "practical" approach with the appropriate use of checklists, summary reports, and case histories. CY2KR's primary objective is to develop, refine and disseminate a set of Guidelines for community use in managing their Y2K problems. Local Chapters play a pivotal role in accomplishing that objective. Advisory Council CY2KR is fortunate to have the able assistance of a "blue ribbon" panel of Y2K experts. The Council's primary function is to guide the organization's strategic mission. Vendor Relationships An effective Y2K preparedness plan must include a wide variety of products. However, it is CY2KR's policy to maintain an "arms length" position relative to all product providers. Financial Support Citizens for Y2K Recovery is totally dependent upon the revenue received from membership dues, seminars and published works. We have no ties (financial or otherwise) with any commercial or political entities. y2krecovery.org

OT - Hamre: '...The threat of widespread computer failures is "what keeps me awake at night," he said. For instance, military payroll systems have an average of 65 interconnections with other computers -- and each needs to be Y2K-OK in time for everything to keep humming. Or, if you want to get spooked, consider America's nuclear arsenal: 76 systems are involved in command and control, Hamre noted. And there are only 521 days left. cgi.pathfinder.com
