D.C. Plans To Mobilize Workers

The District government, recognizing that its year 2000
repair program likely will not be completed on time, is
planning a massive New Year's Eve mobilization of
emergency personnel and other staff to ensure that
critical city services are not interrupted if computer
systems fail.
Police will be stationed at more than 120 locations
across the city, working 12-hour shifts, to take walk-in
requests for emergency services. Twenty-one "warming
centers," each supplied with food, water and cots, will
open. School crossing guards will be on call, ready to
replace traffic lights at major intersections. And D.C.
General Hospital will have extra staff members -- as
many as 175 -- on site.
