Emergency Issues: Survey on Emergency Communication and People with Disabilities

From AAPD (12.22.10):

Emergency Issues: Survey on Emergency Communication and People with Disabilities

A researcher at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta is working on a research project on the use and usability of wireless technology by people with disabilities.  They are conducting a survey about two aspects of the way people with disabilities use emergency communications: 1) contacting 911 emergency services like fire, ambulance, police, etc.; and 2) receiving alerts about public emergencies like weather alerts, Amber alerts, etc.

People with disabilities are encouraged to take the survey on-line at: http://www.wirelessrerc.org/news/take-the-2010-Emergency-Communications-survey.html

Or via phone, toll-free at: 1-800-582-6360.

Participants will be entered into a drawing for a $250 Amazon gift card with the drawing to take place during the first week of January 2011. Results of the survey will be published. For further information please contact John Morris, Ph.D., Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (Wireless RERC), Shepherd Center, 2020 Peachtree Road, NW, Atlanta, GA 30309, via email john_morris@shepherd.org.
