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 2006 Indian
train bombing, the Virginia Tech College shooting, the California
wildfires in 2007, the 2008 Sichuan, China earthquake, and the
2008 hurricane disasters.
