State Cuts Deaf Emergency Alerts
Do you receive email alerts for ASL messages in bad weather from DeafLink?
State cut as of last night! No more alerts! If a tornado comes and u used
to send to ur pager, no more! They did not tell us, just cut.
Watch WOAI news tonite (Feb 1, 2011) at 5, 6 or 6:30 to see story about how
state is cutting emergency services to Deaf. A reporter interviewed my wife
and me about state not providing video emergency alerts anymore. I used to
get email link to my computer and pager so I could know bad weather or
dangerous storm on way. Now, no more! Call your representative and ask to
put service back. SAVE DEAF LIVES!” Channel 4 or I will post link after on
their website so u can see.
Also contact Chief Nim Kidd, who cut services. His office phone number is
(512)424-2443 and his email is [email protected]
Call your representative—write to your representative! SAVE DEAF LIVES!
