The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has been felt by many. Almost everyone in the EMU family has felt the effects either through personal connections or economic consequences. This web site was established to help the EMU community respond to Katrina and provide information on how members of the EMU family can receive assistance. Most efforts are currently complete, but if additional opportunities arise, they will be posted here. For information, please contact Greg Peoples. How You Can Help - ongoing information

Sept. 2 Eastern
Michigan University is collecting used
cell phones for distribution
to elderly victims of Hurricane Katrina via the
charity Phones for Life. Phones for Life is a
nonprofit organization that collects used cell
phones, chargers and batteries for redistribution
to the elderly for emergency purposes. All cell
phones are programmed to have 911 capabilities
and do not need a service provider to access 911.
Collection boxes are at McKenny
Union, Halle Library, Dining Commons ONE and the
Rec/IM. These phones
will go to the elderly who have been affected
by Hurricane Katrina. Please share this information,
donate a used cell phone, and encourage others
to transfer their used technology (an old cell
phone) and make it a live and vital technology
connection for the elderly. One call may save
a life; one donated phone enhances a life. For
more information, call Bob Teehan, 487-8659, or
VISION, 487-3045. posted
