SCENARIO 5:30 AM: While sound asleep you feel a sudden jolt that jars you from your sleep. You immediately look over to your loved one, jump out of the bed and race to the living room unaware of what is going on. You turn the television on to get the news, hoping to get a clear and accurate message in order to protect your family and yourself. Here is what you see…

TRUE or FALSE?? A hard of hearing individual who can enunciate well can understand completely? An individual who depends on lip reading can catch 90% of spoken words? can catch 90% of spoken words? Non-sign language users must know and proficiently use sign language in order to communicate with sign language users?

DISABILITY The concept of this word is divided into two areas: - Physical Limitations - Communication Barriers Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing and Speech Impaired individuals are often left out due to lack of communication access.

Two people from the Department of Public Health (DPH) went to a mobile home park to inform residents to evacuate because the water sources was contaminated with mercury. There were several deaf people living there with their hearing children. The deaf people couldn’t understand what the DPH people were trying to tell them even though they wrote the word “mercury” on paper. Their children came back from swimming in the nearby creek. How could you inform them to evacuate?

A mass notification warning has been sent out to local residents via landline phone. TTY users haven’t received notification as the automated systems don’t work with TTY machines yet. How can this situation be resolved? How can this situation be resolved?

A group of deaf mental health professionals, also certified as Red Cross Disaster Mental Health Services volunteers, were informed that there was not a need for them because some of the Red Cross volunteers knew some sign language.
