KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Patti Bell (left) and Dr. Violette Wahba Salib (center) are greeted by KSC Deputy Director Dr. Woodrow Whitlow Jr. after their return from Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Bell and Salib are with Environmental and Occupational Health at KSC. They 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.
