FEMA has ASL Interpreters available whenever a Deaf person needs
\none…just ask them that you need an interpreter and FEMA staffers
\nwill utilize Deaf Link’s VRI unit. It’s that simple… It gives the
\nDeaf individual independence to take care of their own situations
\nthemselves plus it gives the hearing world a better way to interact
\nwith those who rely on ASL for communications. Having a VRI unit
\navailable gives the hearing person a cool tool (VRI) to meet with a
\nDeaf person (who requested an interpreter) an opportunity to “talk to
\neach other, face to face…as equals!” smile.. It’s an awesome time to
\nbe a Deaf person with technology that’s available to promote the use
\nof interpreters in different formats on the Deaf person’s time
\nschedule…not scheduling their lives around the calendar of the
\ninterpreter. <\/p>\n
