Friday August 29, 2008 10:55 pm ET

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 29, 2008 -- ME911 is donating its services free starting today until the 30th of September to communities beset by tropical storms Fay, Gustav, and Hanna. In response to advisories issued by the National Hurricane Center, ME911 is reaching out to people residing in the areas on the storms' likely paths -- Florida, Louisiana, and Texas.

"We hope that all communities along the gulf coast are prepared and wish their families and loved ones safe and well being during this hurricane season. ME911 is pleased to lend a helping hand and its disaster preparedness and emergency response services to aid in preparation and response," stated Clarence Wesley, CEO, ME911.

Committed to its mission of providing people with peace of mind, minimizing their losses, and helping them recover quickly in the event of natural disasters, ME911's outreach services include immediate text message, email, and phone alerts to family and friends to apprise them of the situation and reuniting them with loved ones spread out in shelters or other areas.

To help people in these communities gear up for the hurricane season, ME911 will also provide them with secure online storage (encrypted with the highest level of security) of their most important information. For instance, they can save their health profiles, insurance policies, digital files of original documents like birth certificates, loan and tax files, passport photocopies, wills, trusts, treasured photographs, and also back up key contacts from their home and mobile phones which are less frequently memorized, but crucial when disaster strikes.

The company also addresses the need for rapid response through a 24 x 7 Personal Crisis Assistant available through ME911's member hotline. This provides people in disaster-affected areas the opportunity to have their important personal and health information immediately made available when and where it's needed most.

ME911 is ramping up its efforts to reach people, families, and communities affected by the hurricane season along the gulf coast to call or visit their website at www.ME911.com to sign up and for more information. ME911 is encouraging everyone to forward this information to their family and friends living in hurricane and flood prone areas.
