Dear NIFL List-Surv,
 
Here is where we stand with our offers to help provide/rewrite 
easy-to-understand health related messages for the Katrina victims.
 
-  15 people and organizations have offered to help in this volunteer ad-hoc 
activity.  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.
