New Jersey Office of Emergency Management
We wanted to share this video link with you. Annmarie Buraczeski represents the New Jersey Association of the Deaf, and is a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member in Ocean City. In this video, she shares her personal experience with Superstorm Sandy and talks about what steps to take in preparation for a storm. It's closed captioned and acccessible to those who don't use ASL.
Annmarie has been actively recruiting members of NJ's Deaf/HH Community into the CERT Program. Ocean City, Burlington County and Monroe Twp. (Gloucester County) have conducted integrated regional CERT Classes, with communications accessibility sponsored by the NJOEM. A salute also goes out to the ASL interpreters who join in the partnership to help make it all happen.
