What will happen if you are injured or missing during a disaster and unable to contact your family? What if they are injured and unable to contact you? A non-profit, free service wants to help.
The service is called the Next of Kin Registry, NOKR for short. NOKR allows you to sign up and to indicate someone to be notified if you are missing, hurt or deceased.
If you’re interested in finding out more about the service or want to register, visit www.NOKR.org. Information on the site indicates NOKR has already been used in national and global disasters including: the 2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 London bombings, the 2005 hurricane season, the 2005 mudslide in Guatemala and the 2006 Indian train bombing.
