Region prepares Y2K disaster plan (Ottawa Citizen ) (Y2K) Nov 26, 13:42 Police on full alert for critical period Concerns over the millennium bug have led the Ottawa-Carleton police force to ban its 1,300 employees from taking vacations during the critical period surrounding Jan. 1, 2000. In January, all of the players in the region's emergency response system, from police and fire departments to hospitals, are expected to begin working on an overall Y2K disaster plan. No one knows for certain what will happen at midnight on Dec. 31, 1999, but scenarios range from minor power outages to full-blown failures in the computers that control everything from water supplies and traffic lights to banking and air traffic control. A chief concern is the 911 telephone system, the backbone of the region's emergency services. Already, plans are in place for uninterrupted emergency power and heating to the Elgin Street police headquarters, where the 911 system is based. The RCMP recently issued a nationwide ban on all vacation and leave to ensure a full force is available to fight the millennium bug. And the the military has been ordered to plan for the worst -- dubbed Operation Abacus -- with troops and frigates ready to be deployed across the country to provide emergency services should computer foul-ups in 2000 create civil chaos. ***************** Some Y2K experts suggest adequate home protection against a possible worse-case scenario entails the 5Gs: Grub, Gold, Generator, Guns and GOD. gold-eagle.com
