Accessible Emergency Alerts For All: Share Your Feedback in DWCC’s National Survey EN

 



The Deaf Wireless Canada Consultative Committee (DWCC) is conducting a national survey on the accessibility of Canada’s public emergency alerting system. We want to receive direct input from Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing (DDBHH) Canadians about your experiences with alerts on TV, mobile phones, and other devices.

Your feedback will help us present strong evidence in the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)’s ongoing proceeding to ensure that emergency alerts are fully accessible in ASL, LSQ, text, visual icons (emojis), and other formats.

En Anglais seulement, veuillez consulter la publication en français en cliquant ici.
