As we continue the countdown to next week's FEMA test, we continue to get the word out through Twitter for the Emergency Responders and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community to use the hashtag #demx as an open channel to facilitate communication.
Stephanie Jo Kent, a researcher and advocate explains more on her blog what this is all about and why it is important WE participate in this event Nov. 9, 2011 at 2:00 pm.

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
