Hurricane Katrina Friends & Family Locator Hotline 1-877-206-7500
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) September 3, 2005 -- OmVox Telecom and Window
Canvas, both of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, have created a new toll-free
communications service, allowing family members displaced by Hurricane Katrina
to communicate with one another via “reverse voice mail.”
Storm victims
can call 1-877-206-7500, enter a 10-digit telephone number such as their home,
office, or cell number, and leave a 3-minute voicemail message, letting others
know of their whereabouts and safety. Family members can call 1-877-206-7500,
enter the 10-digit telephone number of their loved one and listen to any
messages left by missing family members.
Due to high call volumes, some
callers may receive a busy signal or have difficulty getting through the
Hurricane Katrina Friends & Family Locator Hotline. Should they experience
these problems, they are encouraged to try their call again at a later
time.
“It is difficult being a South Florida resident and watching the
devastation, knowing it could have been us. We hope that providing this free
service will help relieve some of the anguish and worry by family members
affected by Hurricane Katrina,” says Michael Self, owner of the two companies
sponsoring this free service.
Now is a time that we should all be looking
for ways to help, he said. We urge major news outlets and government agencies to
relay this information quickly and efficiently, thus helping to ease the pain
being experienced by all those affected by this disaster. We cannot imagine the
worry and stress of knowing a loved one is part of the devastation in the Gulf
area and not having heard from them by now, he said. Hopefully, the Friends
& Family Locator will provide some peace of mind in this very trying time
for all.
