Accessible Technology Advisory Committee Members,

Karen asked me to pass on the attached email.  It seems like a great
opportunity to give input regarding use of emergency communication systems
by people with disabilities.  Please pass on to any other folks you think
may be interested in responding.

Happy Holidays!

Subject: Survey on emergency communications and people with disabilities

Hi All,

I am a researcher at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta. I am working on a
research project on the use and usability of wireless technology by people
with disabilities.

We are currently conducting a survey about two aspects of the way people
with disabilities use emergency communications:
1) contacting 911 emergency services like fire, ambulance, police, etc.
2) receiving alerts about public emergencies like weather alerts, Amber
alerts, etc.

It would help me a lot if you could take our survey. It takes only a few
minutes. You can take the survey on-line at:
http://www.wirelessrerc.org/news/take-the-2010-Emergency-Communications-surv
ey.html 

If you prefer to take the survey over the phone, you can call me toll-free
at: 1-800-582-6360.

All participants will be entered into a drawing for a $250 Amazon gift card.
The drawing will take place during the first week of January 2011.

I'll be sure to post results from the survey when we finish collecting data.

Thanks so much for your help!

--John
