Tragic Week for Next of Kin notification's in Boston bombing and West, Texas Explosion

WASHINGTON - April 18, 2013 - PRLog -- The Next Of Kin Registry(NOKR), would like to inform those who have family members visiting or living in or around West, Texas to visit the NOKR website, 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. If you have a photograph please upload this on the registration page as this aids in the identification process. NOKR search information will be provided to state and local authorities.

“We have volunteers in the affected area on site that are ready to assist” said Gerry DiStefano, Deputy Director of NOKR. “Additionally, with the events of earlier this week in Boston, it is a prudent move to register yourself and your loved ones now. All it takes is filling out a simple form – go to NOKR.org . Obviously the very best time to do this is prior to the information being needed – however, at this point any information that can be entered could potentially assist those who are out there doing their best to help.”

NOKR was established as a FREE tool for daily emergencies and national-international disasters. NOKR is your emergency contact system to help if you or your family member is missing, injured or deceased. NOKR is the central depository for Emergency Contact information in the United States plus 87 other countries worldwide. NOKR is a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to bridging rapid emergency contact information. NOKR was established in January 2004 for events such as this.

NOKR provides the public a free proactive service to store emergency contacts, next of kin and vital medical information that would be critical to emergency response agencies. Stored information is only accessible via a secure area that is only accessible by emergency public trust agencies that have registered with NOKR.
