Among these are Ruth Parker at Emory in Atlanta, Terry Davis at LSU, and two Canadian organizations and many other experts. - We have revised (simplified and added visuals) one emergency piece; a one page instruction on tips for staying healthy in a shelter. - Ceci and I have been invited by some of the respondents to coordinate responses, and although that was not our original intention, have agreed to do this for the next four weeks. But if you see a need somewhere, please go right ahead and fill it. - CDC (The Center for Disease Control, Atlanta) will probably invite us to review and revise some materials for use with Katrina (and future) victims. Other organizations may follow, but no requests so far. You will receive more information shortly. thank you and best wishes , Ceci and Len Doak Patient Learning Assoc.
