State Cuts Deaf Emergency Alerts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you receive email alerts for ASL messages in bad weather from DeafLink?
\nState cut as of last night! No more alerts! If a tornado comes and u used
\nto send to ur pager, no more! They did not tell us, just cut.<\/p>\n

Watch WOAI news tonite (Feb 1, 2011) at 5, 6 or 6:30 to see story about how
\nstate is cutting emergency services to Deaf. A reporter interviewed my wife
\nand me about state not providing video emergency alerts anymore. I used to
\nget email link to my computer and pager so I could know bad weather or
\ndangerous storm on way. Now, no more! Call your representative and ask to
\nput service back. SAVE DEAF LIVES!” Channel 4 or I will post link after on
\ntheir website so u can see.<\/p>\n

Also contact Chief Nim Kidd, who cut services. His office phone number is
\n(512)424-2443 and his email is nim.kidd@txdps.state.tx.us<\/p>\n

Call your representative—write to your representative! SAVE DEAF LIVES!<\/p>\n
