You've heard about the Year 2000 bug and what might happen. So, what do you do?

This book tells you everything you need to know about preparing your home, your family, and yourself for January 1, 2000. The old saying "Better safe than sorry" has never been more true. Experts agree that no one knows what to expect. What happens if the power goes off? What if the phones don't work? What if there is no running water? No sewage service? Your ATM doesn't work? All or some of this could happen and this is the book has the answers. You'll get information on advice on:

• Heating
• Power
• Food and cooking
• Water
• Lighting
• Staying clean, healthy and safe
• Money
• Important papers
• And more...

You'll get information on products that will work, what quantities of items you will need, and what to avoid. You can decide on your level of preparedness; use the numerous checklists in the book to make sure you are ready and comfortable regardless of the event. Even if the year 2000 doesn't get you, you'll still be prepared for power failures or other natural disasters. And you may even profit from this by finding you important papers and addressing issues you have put off. In most cases, you can use what you buy. We tell you how to minimize costs and the reference section is the best source of information you need to prepare for the Y2K anywhere.

You owe it to yourself to get prepared. The Complete Y2K Home Preparation Guide is the single resource to tell you exactly what you need so that you can relax and enjoy the New Year knowing that you are ready.
