09/03/2005 Find your people. HOUSTON (AP): The American Red Cross is working to reunite families separated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The agency has activated the Family Links Registry, which is accessible by telephone or the Internet.
Evacuees living in shelters, hotels or with family members or friends are being encouraged to call 1-877-568-3317 to let people know where they are. Evacuees also can register by visiting www.redcross.org.
Officials say the system will be updated continuously. It's designed to help people reach loved ones who might be in distant locations.
