Here are some generic things that could be helpful to a community preparedness team.
How to interview a project manager
Here is an "interview" which you can give a project manager to find out where their project is at. Say you're a city council member and you want to get past the bafflegab to a better understanding of how your city water utility is doing on their project to prepare for the Y2K event. You've got an intuition that you're not getting the straight scoop, but don't have good questions to ask. Try these, they'll elicit a pretty good response. Try to use these questions in a positive way rather than as a weapon to put the project manager on the spot.
How to structure a readiness assessment
There are lots of ways to assess readiness. This is a short PowerPoint presentation that has a few "forms" that you can use as a starting point for your work. Each of pages can be used as a template that volunteers could use as a framework to elicit information from knowledgeable insider type people. Then when the forms are completed they could be summarized into a document that gives you a pretty broad picture of where your community is ready, and where resources will have to be deployed to back people up.
