Why Should I Register My Family with NOKR (Next of Kin Registry)?

The Next Of Kin Registry was established as a tool for daily emergencies and national disasters.It is a contact system to help you find your love ones should they be missing,injured or deceased.It also keeps your medical information should there be a critical emergency response.The site is secured and can only be accessible by emergency public trust agencies that have registered with NOKR.

Do you know of someone who has been through a disaster? Maybe a friend or a loved one.Nothing is more scarier than not knowing where they are.NOKR has been established to help with the worries and save us and thee government from the overwhelming responses during these crisis.

I know what your thinking.How can my information be protected.Just like any other government agency's it is well protected.This has been put in to place to help us all.It will take maybe ten minutes to do.It will save you or your loved one from alot of pain from worrying.

If you stop and think about all the disaster that have been happening.Hurricanes,Tornado's,Tsunamis and even major storms.It doesn't stop there.My your husband is 2 hours late getting home from work and you can't seem to find him.Everyday life is why you should take 10 minutes and fill out the information.

There is a spot where you get to put emergency contact information.AKA - Next of Kin.We all think okay nothing will happen to me.Well don't just think about you.It could be your mom or your brother or maybe even your best friend.

Back in October of 2005.I was in the process of moving.Never had I heard about NOKR but boy I wished I had.My mother was stopped with her turn signal on.A women hit her at 65 miles an hour in the rear.The force of this sent her into on coming traffic and she was T-Boned in the drivers door.Now the police department said this driver was going about 75 miles per hour.

She was on a long stretch of road in the country about 15 minutes from her sister house.The impact alone had knocked her out cold.Let's just say her trunk was now sitting in the drivers seat and she was pushed into the steering wheel which stopped her from going to the engine.This left the fire department only one choice.TO USE THE JAWS OF LIFE !

Most of her personal stuff was now mangled into the car and you just couldn't get it out.This means that little address book we carry in our purse.Just couldn't be reached.So now she is on the way to the hospital.Mind you she is still out cold.She was not registered with NOKR.No address book and no way to get a hold of family and they only have a name off the tag.

My mother came to about 4 and half hours after the wreck and the nurses where finally able to ask her for next of kin information.She was in so much pain but was able to spit out my Aunts phone number.Thank God for that.She was very dazed and confused.Just imagine if she woke up and didn't know who she was.

This can happen to anyone.What if she didn't wake up for days? Now that is just plain out right scary.No matter who you are.If my mom had signed up with NOKR before this wreck happened they would have been able to contact family by just running her name through the data base.Less than 30 minutes verses over 4 hours.

If this hasn't scared you than imagine if you had family that lived in Louisiana when the Levy's broke.All that mass confusion and so many people hurt and dead.In no time you could have an update instead of sitting around for days or maybe even months.So save yourself and your loved ones some pain.Sign up for NOKR.

Who knows you may never need it.But that is better than regretting that you didn't do it.My momma always said "better safe than sorry".If she had known about NOKR.I know she would have set up her information a long time ago.

Oh ya before I forget.Best of all it is Free.Thats right FREE !!
