Kwikpoint CLREC Disaster Assistance Translator for Pacific

Book excerpt: For the Department of the Navy Center for Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture, Kwikpoint developed a series of disaster assistance publications specifically for countries and languages in the Pacific Rim. Using existing Kwikpoint copyright content, we quickly added language phrases and some country specific visual language content for Indonesia and other southeast Asia counties. Similar to Kwikpoint's award winning and proven American Red Cross Disaster Assistance Translator, each publication has hundreds of visual images covering applications such as medical and health issues, food and food restrictions, hygiene, hydration, food, shelter, clothing, contacting family, assessing damage as well as key phrases in Chammoro, Chuukese, Fijan, French, Hawaiian, Kiribati, Maori, Marshallese, Palauan, Pohnpeian, Rarotogan, Samoan, Tahitian, Tok Pisin, Tongan and Tuvaluan. Each publication contains 24 panels of content. Kwikpoint developed and manufactured tens of thousands of these publications in less than 60 calendar days. These are laminated publications designed to handle use in tough conditions.
