DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: July 14\, 2016\n\nLocation: Webinar\n\nDescription
 : These 90 minute webinars are delivered by the Pacific ADA Center usin
 g the Blackboard Collaborate webinar platform. All sessions will be captio
 ned\, recorded and archived.\n\nThis program is delivered via both webinar
  platform and via telephone (additional charges may apply). Real-time capt
 ioning is available via the webinar platform.\n\nAll webinars offered have
  real-time closed captioning for persons who are hearing impaired. The web
 inars are accessible to people with vision disabilities by using screen re
 aders. The webinar system is also accessible to people with mobility/dexte
 rity impairments who use keyboard commands instead of mouse clicks.\n\nThi
 s presentation will provide two examples of practices for effective commun
 ications with people with disabilities in emergencies. The first is a part
 nership between Center for Public Safety Innovation at St. Petersburg Coll
 ege and the State of Florida to provide a course entitled Effective Strate
 gies for Communicating With People Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and Oth
 er Access and Functional Needs. Speakers will provide an overview of objec
 tives and course content\, as well as discuss the interactions and the pur
 pose of this training as a face-to-face workshop instead of distance learn
 ing and why.\n\nIn the second half of the webinar\, staff from the New Yor
 k City Office of Emergency Management will cover their emergency outreach 
 efforts to persons who are deaf and/or hard of hearing. Staff will review 
 the policy and cost considerations\, production tips\, and operational pro
 cedures that were used to produce and embed approximately 80 signed videos
  into Notify NYC — the City's free\, official source of information abou
 t emergency events and important City services. Initial videos were taped 
 with an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter and the agency has moved 
 to production with a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). The City has also p
 rioritized the use of a CDI whenever the Mayor or Commissioner of Emergenc
 y Management is providing key emergency messages to the public during an e
 mergency activation.\n\nLearning objectives:\n\n\n	\n	Explain the importan
 ce of effective communication for people who are deaf or hard of hearing a
 nd other access and functional needs.\n	\n	\n	Describe the various sub-gro
 ups of people who are deaf or hard of hearing\, including their communicat
 ion needs.\n	\n	\n	Outline the partnership between the State of Florida an
 d St. Petersburg College to efficiently deliver the workshop for: Effectiv
 e Strategies for Communicating With People Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
  and Other Access and Functional Needs.\n	\n	\n	Understand the difference 
 between an ASL and CDI interpreter and the decision-making process of when
  to utilize each in emergency planning to outreach to the deaf and hard of
  hearing communities.\n	\n	\n	Learn the production process and operating p
 rotocol used by a local government to incorporate video and audio recordin
 gs into emergency notifications well in advance of an emergency.\n	\n\n\nT
