Most consumers are quickly becoming aware of what the millennium bug is and how it threatens their way of life. With increasing press coverage--most of it negative--many are becoming worried. Some are panicking. Unfortunately, consumers have very little influence over whether or not government agencies, infrastructure providers, or businesses get their computers repaired in time. However, this does not mean they have to become victims. It does mean that they have to become proactive and engage in personal contingency planning. This book shows them how, one step at a time.
"When the clock strikes midnight on December 31, 1999, will you be ready?" Michael S. Hyatt believes that when the millennium comes, it's going to pack a wallop. He detailed the specifics of the Y2K computer problem in his bestselling book The Millennium Bug, which stirred up tremendous attention and discussion from people wondering how bad it's really going to be. To address this issue, The Y2K Personal Survival Guide offers contingency plans for whether the effects of Y2K last three days or a year. Organized in five sections: Information, Supplies, Shelter, Money, and Protection, the Survival Guide offers resource suggestions and tips on everything from how to rotate canned goods and stockpile food to securing an alternative source of heat. Much of this information would be helpful during any winter storm, but Hyatt is convinced that we are in for a major change of lifestyle, and his suggestions also include which items will be useful as barter fare once the monetary system has collapsed. Hyatt is serious about preparing people for the worst, even if it never comes to pass. Extremism aside, The Y2K Personal Survival Guide has plenty of helpful checklists and appendices, like "Where to Stash Your Cash and Other Valuables," to help you feel prepared for whatever the new year might bring. --Jodie Buller
