Survivors can register “I’m OK”

The site is now up and operational. It’s scalable and should do the job.

Family and friends continue to search for people displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Our new web registry will allow someone to search for a specific person instead of combing message boards organized by city.

Survivors can register “I’m OK” or have someone else register for them that “I’m OK.” Aid stations and relief centers can use this registry to assist people in making their whereabouts visible to their family and friends.

The search side of the site allows for a specific pinpoint search for a person by household rather than generic searches by city. All the search requires is the person’s telephone number from before the disaster. Family and friends searching for the same person can communicate with each other through the message board tied to that phone number.

We need your help to make this registry known ASAP. Please forward this link to people you know who may be searching for people affected by the disaster.

Your help is sincerely appreciated.
