NOAA Focus Group Meeting - Franklin

EARS will be facilitating two (2) focus group meetings in conjunction with a NOAA grant that Vanderbilt's Program in Disaster Research and Training and Jacksonville State University, Department of Emergency Management received.  The meetings will be held at the Williamson County Public Safety Center.  The purpose of the focus groups is to help NOAA understand how dDeaf/HH/DB people receive emergency communications in the event of a tornado, flood, or other disasters.

They are asking for your help in recruiting people that live in the Middle Tennessee area to apply to participate in one of the focus groups.
