[nfbwatlk] FW: NFB stand on Blind Child Area signs?

[debby phillips]

Wow, I don't know how I survived childhood without one of those 
signs.  (Sarcastic look.  I personally would have been so ticked 
off if my parents had put one of those up in front of our house!  
The neighborhood knew I was blind anyway, so why put a sign out 
there?  Good grief!  That's horrible.

That brings up another issue I'd be interested in people's input 
about.  After Hurricane Katrina there was an effort by some 
people in the first responders or emergency services area to have 
people with disabilities self-identify, so they could be more 
quickly assisted if a natural or other kind of disaster should 
take place.  What say you all?  Good or bad?    Peace,    Debby
