Taking the First Steps to Disaster Preparedness

Emergency Responders and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community:

Taking the First Steps to Disaster Preparedness (AWR-186).

Community Emergency Preparedness Information Network (CEPIN) continues to
offer its’ first course, an eight-hour DHS-certified direct delivery
program, that provides emergency responders with the tools needed to address
the emergency and disaster preparedness needs of the deaf, hard of hearing
and deaf-blind communities. The course also gives individuals who are deaf,
hard of hearing and deaf-blind a better understanding of the roles and
responsibilities of emergency responders during emergencies and disasters.
For more information about the course, go to

The course, “AWR 186 Emergency Responders and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Community,” is designed to provide deaf and hard of hearing (including deaf,
deaf-blind, hard of hearing, late-deafened and other individuals with
hearing loss) and emergency responders with the basic skills they need to
communicate with each other in the event of emergencies such as terrorist
attacks and natural and biological disasters. The course will also instruct
participants how to respond to a variety of emergency situations. Because
this course is geared toward an entry-level audience and its framework is
one of problem solving and small-group work, the ideal participant to
instructor ratio is 20:1.
