Comments Filed with FCC on Emergency Alert Accessibility

November 2nd, 2004

The Telecommunications Access RERC (a partnership between the Trace Center and Gallaudet University) submitted comments to the Federal Communications Commission related to uniform access to emergency alerts by people with disabilities. Many of the methods suggested by the RERC for addressing this issue could also result in faster, more reliable alerting of the general population.

TRACE RERC is currently funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) under grant 90REGE0024. NIDILRR is part of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
