Here is a GREAT post written about how First Responders are looking to reach the most overlooked population of citizens, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, in the event of a disaster or emergency. I am pleased to have not only been quoted in the article, but they also linked to my "story".
"Tornados and the Deaf Community: Are You Reaching All Your Citizens?"

Raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, now retired on the Southern Oregon Coast. I was a hard of hearing child who grew up to be a deafened adult. I share and write about deafness, hearing loss and other things I find interesting. I am a 50 something year old woman who could be anyone's mother, grandmother or friend. I've traveled the U.S., and I've lived in Europe. I'm currently residing near the beach with Fabulous Husband and 11 year old son. ~ Joyce Edmiston
