NASA's Marshall Center Supports Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts

Nasa's Marshall Center at Huntsville, Ala is supporting NASA personnel, their associates and two Agency facilities recovering from Hurricane Katrina.

The Marshall Center is working to restore communications and power to both facilities, and to deliver supplies to recovery teams and on-site personnel.

The Marshall Center also is partnering with Huntsville City Schools to enroll children of impacted NASA employees in local schools, and also will partner with the City of Madison and Madison County Schools to accommodate additional children of displaced employees.

NASA has designated a telephone number (877/470-5240) for displaced employees to call for assistance and to advise NASA of their whereabouts. Family members also may use the number to inquire about employees and others sheltering at Stennis and Michoud.
