SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 08/29/08 --
ME911 is
donating its services free starting today until the 30th of September to
communities beset by tropical storms Fay, Gustav, and Hanna. In response to
advisories issued by the
National
Hurricane Center, ME911 is reaching out to people residing in the areas
on the storms' likely paths -- Florida, Louisiana, and Texas.
"We hope that all communities along the gulf coast are prepared and wish
their families and loved ones safe and well being during this hurricane
season. ME911 is pleased to lend a helping hand and its
disaster preparedness and emergency response services to aid in
preparation and response," stated Clarence Wesley, CEO, ME911.
Committed to its mission of providing people with peace of mind, minimizing
their losses, and helping them recover quickly in the event of natural
disasters, ME911's outreach
services include immediate text message, email, and phone alerts to
family and friends to apprise them of the situation and reuniting them with
loved ones spread out in shelters or other areas.
To help people in these communities gear up for the hurricane season, ME911
will also provide them with secure online storage (encrypted with the
highest level of security) of their most important information. For
instance, they can save their health profiles, insurance policies, digital
files of original documents like birth certificates, loan and tax files,
passport photocopies, wills, trusts, treasured photographs, and also back
up key contacts from their home and mobile phones which are less frequently
memorized, but crucial when disaster strikes.
The company also addresses the need for rapid response through a 24 x 7
Personal Crisis Assistant available through ME911's member hotline. This
provides people in disaster-affected areas the opportunity to have their
important personal and health information immediately made available when
and where it's needed most.
ME911 is ramping up its efforts to reach people, families, and communities
affected by the hurricane season along the gulf coast to call or visit
their website at www.ME911.com to sign up and for more information. ME911
is encouraging everyone to forward this information to their family and
friends living in hurricane and flood prone areas.
