KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Dr. Violette Wahba Salib (left) and Ron Storey, a NASA Security agent, exit a NASA aircraft after its return from Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Salib is with Occupational Medicine at KSC. The two were part of a volunteer team helping rescue and recovery efforts at Stennis, which was damaged during Hurricane Katrina. Many employees of Stennis and Michoud Assembly Facility, near New Orleans, were rendered homeless by the hurricane. NASA centers have been generous with relief supplies and personnel. Stennis is now in limited operations mode. Daily convoys have been moving between Stennis and Michoud, transporting personnel and supplies as Michoud prepares to resume limited operations.
