Hurricane Preparedness for DDBHH Texans: Stay Aware & Empowered

Hurricane

Hurricane season has arrived again in Texas. It?s time to be prepared!

Did you know that hurricanes can travel as far as 200 miles inland? Hurricanes can become dangerous storms that cause flooding and tornados as far as Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas. It takes just one bad weather experience to change your life if you?re not prepared for it.

People with hearing loss have unique needs that may be different from other Texans. The Governor?s Committee on People with Disabilities and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services in Texas Health and Human Services are partnering to share common challenges for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Texans during hurricanes in addition to how to prepare for and respond to them.

If you?re Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing, or an interested stakeholder, please join us! Our webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, June 28th on Zoom from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Register here [ [link removed] ].
