New Info for Gerard Braud
(4:25 pm Chicago time)–I just spoke with Gerard Braud, who still needs help reaching the area devastated by Hurricane Katrina so that he can offer professional communication advice. He said not to use the contact phone number published in his earlier post. Here is his current contact info:
Text message: 504-908-8188
Email: gbraud@spamarrest.com
I wrote a blog entry on my personal blog. If you can contact other professional communicators and direct them here or there, we have a greater probability of connecting Gerard with the help he needs–as he tries to serve others.

Many people gave generously to my family last year when I was near
death and unable to work for six months. God spared me last year,
and he spared me again on Sunday night. Even though Hurricane
Katrina damaged my home, it is not destroyed.
As a sign of giving back, please forward this offer to anyone you
know. Since presentations at conferences, media training and
crisis communications are what I know best, perhaps I can use my
programs to raise money and give back to those in more need than
I.
If anyone is hosting a conference or training event, I will make
myself available to do a Keynote and a breakout session. The cost
will be $6,000 plus travel and I will give half to a charitable
organization helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina in the New
Orleans area.
If any organization or IABC, PRSA chapter would like me to host a
full-day workshop on media relations or crisis communications, I
will also give half of everything raised to charity. The cost for
a full-day event will be $5,000 plus travel.
We’ll call this Gerard’s two-for-one disaster relief offer. Please
include those words in your subject line and e-mail. People can
contact me at my temporary e-mail address of gbraud@spamarrest.com
(My website http://www.braudcommunications.com is currently underwater on
a server across the street from the Superdome.)
Since my website is down, people can contact me for a PDF with all
of my media relations and crisis communications programs.
Please share this with bloggers and fellow communicators.
