Description

As a result the "Emergency Responders and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community: Taking the First Steps to Disaster Preparedness" course was developed. CEPIN has since offered the first pilot courses in the cities of San Francisco, Tulsa, Okla.,Boston and Philadelphia. The CEPIN project aims to broaden the scope of awareness and preparedness between emergency responders and deaf and hard of hearing consumers prior to the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters. By introducing the two audiences to each other, CEPIN encourages networking and communication between two groups who frequently encounter communication breakdowns. The ideal outcome for the course would be continued interaction between the two groups in which awareness is passed on to other community members and new preparedness programs are created.
