1 July 2016 NYC EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Leveraging Alternative Formats for Emergency Communication

22 IMPROVING OUR AGENCY MISSION Goal: to be a premier coordinating agency for the City of New York. -Planning and preparedness -Coordinating response and recovery -Educating the public -Collecting and disseminating information

3 Notify NYC The City’s official emergency communications program. How it works: Notify NYC helps make the public aware of emergencies and other planned incidents in New York City. “The information you want to receive, the way you want to receive it.” Features include customized alert options, “Do Not Disturb” and “Vacation” settings, and much more.

44 HOW CAN WE IMPROVE NOTIFY NYC?

55 SOLUTION Offer New Yorkers a new way to access emergency information in an easy-to-understand format. -Target audience identified: people with disabilities, and access and functional needs. -Reviewed best practices from other municipalities. -Public outreach and education.

6 Notify NYC Messages in Sign Language Video Format Design and Production Process Create pre-scripted messages to address a variety of emergency updates: Flooding Coastal storms Tornadoes Extreme heat Snowstorms Airport and school closings Transit disruptions Used outside vendors: certified sign language interpreters and video production team.

7 Notify NYC Messages in Sign Language Video Format Debut and Implementation Making it work: Program subscribers given the option to sign up to receive sign language video messages. Videos are also available for viewing on Notify NYC’s new YouTube channel. Links to videos are also added messages on Twitter.

88 IMPROVING THE FOUNDATION Enhancing the program offering through lessons learned. -Transition from using an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter to a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). -More videos to address evolving needs.

9 Best Practices How Videos Have Evolved Considerations: 2014 video (top) features an American Sign Language interpreter. The 2016 video (bottom) features a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). Extreme Cold Weather video: Blizzard Warning video:

10 BEST PRACTICES: PRODUCTION NOTES Think Modularly! Save time and energy; produce your messages with a modular concept in mind. When writing the messages, try to group them together to have the same call-to-action. This reduces the strain on our interpreter and production team: the sequence only has to be filmed/edited once and can then gets tacked on at the end of each message.

11 MODULAR MESSAGING EXAMPLE

13 BEST PRACTICES COMMUNITY Making Sign Language Videos Work for Your Municipality -Vendor versus in-house production team -Leveraging website/social media to promote/host resources -Get buy-in: use community partnerships to share/promote and get feedback
