Disaster Preparedness: Knowing Your Rights and Communication Needs \u2013 Austin, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

You and your family could be anywhere when disaster strikes \u2013 at work, at school or in the car. Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate (leave) and go to a shelter. What would you do if you could not be able to absorb (not able to understand because of no interpreters or captioning) what the local officials say in regards to the emergency and\/or disaster?<\/p>\n

Becoming aware of your rights and communication needs as well as available resources is part of preparing in advance. Come to our training, and it also would empower you to learn how to self-advocate as a deaf\/hard of hearing individual as preparing the emergencies and\/or disaster in advance. The training is scheduled and located at:<\/p>\n
