I have a really special place in my heart for the Deaf community. My early career was in involved in the community, and I miss it terribly. Integrating that love with my passion for Family Preparedness, I want to bring together resources available to the Deaf Community for Emergency Preparedness.

If you have a deaf or hard of hearing person in your circle of influence, be it a neighbor, co-worker, family member, please take a moment to make sure they’ve been alerted to any weather situation happening. While we take hearing the alerts for granted, it’s not always a instant alert for them. Yes, they have their own devices and hacks, but it’s important to reach out to them, just in case!

Here are quite a few sites, video collections and more to educate, enlighten and prepare, not only for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing, but for those who love them!
