Dear List-serv members,
 
Perhaps there is a way for the special skills of list-serv members to help 
the victims of the hurricane who are now in need of relief from a number of 
public and private agencies.
 
Based on the NALS survey, it is clear that many thousands of victims, who 
have limited literacy skills, will have to cope with complex and hastily designed 
instructions on how to get aid in many forms. 
 
Would it make sense to offer our services gratis to the many helping agencies 
to assist them to design their emergency instructions and forms so they are 
more understandable?  (I know that Ceci and I would be willing to give same-day 
e-mail turn around to any draft material that is to help with their services.)
 
What do you think?  Who should be contacted?
 
best wishes,
 
Len and Ceci Doak
