...and you know ALL about Y2K and how it's going to affect your computer. But what about your house? Your Car? Or even your VCR? What if the grocery stores are shut down for a few days or the electricity goes out for a week? What would you do then? These are the things you really need to know about. Who CARES if your computer goes down? I'm sure you'll back-up...that's all you're going to hear about for weeks before it happens and no-ones going to forget that, and unless you're running an information-intensive business it's not going to matter one bit compared to being able to use your kitchen faucet. Even if the Y2K bug just doesn't happen, do YOU know what to do in an emergency that isn't computer related? Nature is doing weird things these days...Ice storms and blizzards crippling whole regions of Canada, Earthquakes crippling whole cities, Volcanoes swallowing whole countries. What would YOU do if basic services were interrupted for even a short time? I am selling a video that can help you prepare yourself. The video will walk you through an average suburban house and show you how to prepare your home and family for the Year 2000. It will cover such subjects as food and water, storage, heat and light, health and safety evaluating and preparing appliances and electronic equipment, etc. The video will outline appropriate measures given the loss of essential services (electrical, water, sewer, etc.) for various periods of time. The video also includes a booklet that outlines details for personal and family planning and provides information relating to sources of needed equipment and resources (i.e. freeze-dried and bulk foods, solar ovens and showers, water storage containers, etc.). The goal is not to be alarmists, as we believe our existing infrastructure, if not preserved, will be repaired and revitalized. Our goal, rather, is to encourage people to make contingency plans should there be a lapse in infrastructure services including temporary loss of power, water and food distribution, heat and lighting, etc. The Video is 58 minutes long and is only $19.99US ($29.99 Canadian) plus $3.00US ($5 Canadian) Shipping and Handling. 14 Day money-back guarantee. Shipping and handling not refundable. If sending a cheque allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. To order Send Cheque or Money Order (sorry, no credit cards) payable to "Dompierre Distributing" to: Year 2000 Home Preparation Guide Suite 809 303-57th Ave SW Calgary, Alberta Canada T2H 2S4
