The Next of Kin Registry (NOKR) America's central repository for Emergency Contact information is highly encouraging families and those with special needs to register their loved ones and friends who may be exposed to this potentially dangerous hurricane.
Three years ago NOKR was a beneficial resource for emergency agencies, thousands of families and individuals displaced by Hurricane Katrina. NOKR is also encouraging the media to help broadcast this resource to those who may be in the path of Ike.
Registering with NOKR takes only a few minutes to store those who should be listed as your emergency point of contact and ad a photo for urgent situations. NOKR is Fast, Free and Secure.
