Y2K ResponseNew Challenges

• The traditional response to disasters is based on the ability to move resources from an unaffected area to the area of impact. Short term - resources and people, long term - financial

Y2K EM ResponseNew Challenges

• Y2K response, everyone is potentially affected at the same time in each time zone

• Response is dependent on critical infrastructure

Critical Infrastructures

• President's commission on critical infrastructure protection

• Critical infrastructures are systems whose incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on the citizens of Florida.

Critical Infrastructures

• Telecommunications *• Electric power *• Emergency services*• Banking and finance

Critical Infrastructures

• Transportation• Gas and oil• Water supply systems• Government services

Consequence Response

• Public panic and social order???

• Y2K impacts on critical infrastructures– Outages– Shortages– Reductions in service– Higher cost

Impacts of Y2K by Sector

• What are the likely impacts of Y2K

• On a scale of 1 (no impact) - 6 (outages)

• Concerns about other sector impacts

Exercise Scenario

• December 31, 1999 11:59 p.m.

• Weather?

• Events leading up to Y2K

• Public Confidence

• State EOC at a Level 2 Activation

The following slides do not represent real events and are for exercise purposes only. Failures or impacts of Y2K presented here do not reflect current industry efforts to mitigate Y2K disruptions.

• Exercise Coordinator presents slides of possible outcomes

• Each participant representing a community (city/county) rolls the dice to determine the impact of Y2K by Infrastructure/event.

• Participants determine the accumulative effects on their community of Y2K related impacts.

• Participants will then identified if the event could be managed with available resources or would mutual aid and/or request for state assistance be required.
