I just wanted to let you know what FLO-TECH is doing for Katrina. We
are focused on helping victim practitioners in Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana with:
-Donations directly to the Red Cross
-free post-op APOPPS Softies
-interest free purchases and
-a custom VIP Discount program for 1 year.
It is important that all Americans step up and help and we are trying
to do what we can with the least amount of fanfare.

It would be helpful to obtain a list of any and all O&P businesses that
are able to see patients in the areas struck by Katrina and soon
hurricane Rita. Many people have been relocated, with little knowledge
of available resources.
There are subscribers to AMP-L and other amputee resources that still
have internet access, and knowledge of who is able to help in those
areas most directly in need would benefit everyone concerned.
In the event you are located in the stricken areas and can see amputees
in need of service, kindly send e-mail with your facility name and
contact information to me at:
and I will post all responses to AMP-L and OANDP-L where they can be
reposted to other forums. I am located high and dry, so far, in
Nashville, TN
Thank you
