The Florida Association of the Deaf (FAD) is coordinating, with the Governor’ s Americans with Disabilities Act Working Group (ADAWG) staff, in the implementation of emergency alert notifications regarding the Hurricane to anyone with a pager or text messaging on cell phones, in case of power outages in our communities. This is an alternative to receiving information when there is no access to radio and television. This service is optional to anyone who wishes to receive updated information from the State Emergency Operations Center. The ADAWG staff will update once daily and provide the list to the EOC everyday at 5 p.m.
You may sign up by sending an email to mailto:emergencylist@fadcentral.org and type in your email address for your pager and cell phone (text messaging). You do not need to provide your name or contact information.
We are working closely with the State to ensure that pertinent information goes out to the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Late Deafened community. Beth Switzer and the Florida Channel are working very hard to provide captioning of the EOC press briefings. We appreciate their commitment.
Please do share this email with your communities so we can reach out to as many people as possible.
Thank you.
