Intermarkets Makes Donation to Benefit Victims in Southern California
Intermarkets, Inc. (www.intermarkets.net) announced today that it has made a significant contribution to the Next of Kin Registry (NOKR; www.nokr.org) to assist in the acquisition of computer equipment to help expedite the registration of evacuees in Southern California. The Next of Kin Registry is working with the American Red Cross to aid the hundreds of thousands of displaced residents in California.
Additionally, Intermarkets is urging all of the publishers in its portfolio of sites to provide links to the NOKR and the American Red Cross so that aid may be quickly passed along to those in need.
“The Next of Kin Registry provides a crucial service to victims and their families in the midst of a crisis,” explained Kevin Lucido, president of Intermarkets. “Intermarkets and its staff wanted to take swift action to address the most urgent needs of our fellow citizens,” he added.
“We wanted to meet the specific, urgent needs at this crucial time in the disaster, and to draw attention to organizations helping victims,” said William Trommelen, chief operating officer of Intermarkets.
About the Next of Kin Registry The Next Of Kin Registry was established as a free tool for daily emergencies and national disasters. NOKR is an emergency contact system to help if people and their family members are missing, injured or deceased. 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. The information is stored in a secure area and that is only accessible by emergency public trust agencies that have registered with NOKR. NOKR’s system has been used in times of disaster across the US and around the world. NOKR was established in January 2004, for daily emergency situations. NOKR is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to bridging rapid emergency contact information.
