Company Working with American Red Cross to Provide Critical
Communications Support

Intel Corporation today announced it is coordinating the donation of
1,500 laptop personal computers to the American Red Cross for
distribution to shelters in support of Hurricane Katrina disaster
relief efforts. In addition, Intel will donate 150 wireless Internet
access points to enable wireless local area connectivity in all
permanent shelters and is providing fifty Wi-Fi transmitters for
installation in the New Orleans downtown and airport area.

Intel employees will provide on-site technical assistance to ensure
the success of all technical deployments. The PCs will be configured
by Intel and its partners according to Red Cross requirements to allow
shelters to exchange important information with the organization's
headquarters regarding victim status, resource needs and case
management. These systems, along with broadband access, will also
provide the technology backbone that provides thousands of hurricane
victims with a means of communicating with relatives, verifying their
identity for emergency fund distribution, contacting social services
and accessing information important to their relocation.
