Disability Policy Consortium  Emergency Preparedness Update

Dear William,

 

Most of you have already seen the news that the DPC has sent a 30 day ADA Title II Demand letter to the Governor regarding continuing failure to provide American Sign Language Interpreters at emergency preparedness press events.

 

Some may say that focusing on the March 27 announcement when there wasn't any radiation problem with the water supply is catigating people when they are delivering good news.   We look at every event as announcing a potential disaster that could continue to enfold.  They all provide training opportunities to get it  right.  The more we see the Commonwealth not getting it right, the more concerned & frightened we becomes.   

 

As Fred Sampson used to feint "Oh, it's the Big One".  We never really know, do we?
