Haiti Earthquake Locating and Reunifying Family

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 13, 2010 -
The National Next Of Kin Registry(NOKR) would like to inform those who have family members visiting or living in the Haiti quake zone to visit the NOKR located at http://www.nokr.org to register vital information about their family members in the event this information is needed by the authorities or search and rescue teams. In the wake of the Port-au-Prince Haiti earthquake NOKR has received over three thousand phone calls from families and victims seeking to reunify. NOKR responded by speaking directly to the US State Department to offer NOKR services to those affected not only in the United States but internationally.

“We are doing everything we can to assist communication efforts,” says Mark Cerney, NOKR President. “We cannot emphasize enough to Americans and Haitians nationwide the importance of registering themselves and their loved ones via the free service to enable an efficient location and contact of family and friends.  The goal is to regain contact with loved ones for medical purposes and to minimize emotional trauma.”
