Weather Radio for People with Hearing Loss
Now that the "violent weather season" is here or
approaching (depending on where you live) you'll probably want to check
out a wonderful website that explains how people with hearing loss can
be assured of being alerted in the event of impending dangerous weather.
Developed in part by Vincent (Bim) Wood, who is deaf, the site contains
a wealth of information regarding weather radio and special needs
weather radio. It addresses questions such as:
* What is NOAA Weather Radio?
* What is the special-needs NOAA Weather Radio?
* What are the weather alerting needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing
persons?
* What does the special-needs NOAA Weather Radio do in times of
inclement weather?
* Where can you obtain information on the special-needs NOAA Weather
Radio?
If you live in an area that's prone to inclement weather, you owe it
to your self to check this site out. Point your browser to http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/NWR/
