Sep 6: Weather Radios for Dane County Residents
DEAF DANE COUNTY RESIDENTS
Dane County Emergency Management Presentation
on
NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards
&
Other Emergency Preparedness Topics
Thursday, September 6th, 6:30-8:30 pm
Our Savior Deaf Lutheran Church
3110 Dairy Drive, Madison
Sponsored by
Department of Health and Family Service,
Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
&
WTCI
Dane County recently received a grant to purchase NOAA Weather Radios
for Dane County residents. Residents can buy the radio for $20.30 but
will be responsible for accessories (strobe light or vibrating device)
to connect to the radio. Dave Janda, who is Assistant Director at the
Dane County Department of Emergency Management, will give a talk and
answer your questions about the radio and emergency preparedness.
The weather radio is a good alerting device for Deaf residents because
we can receive the information via printed text. And it is especially
important when severe storms or other events occur at night when we are
sound asleep.
Deaf people living in surrounding counties are welcome!
ASL Interpreted.
Refreshments will be provided.

ASL Classes at MATC – Levels 1, 2 and 3
Since Family Enhancement/Shore to Shore is no longer offering formal ASL
classes, we have been advocating that interested people take the
non-credit Sign Language classes with MATC’s Adult and Continuing
Education.
Level 2 and 3 classes are on Beld Avenue at the Catholic Multicultural
Center. They are offering childcare for these two classes, with an
emphasis on learning and supporting sign language needs of these kids.
They need one more registered student for Level 3 for the class to be
held for sure. They have enough students for Level 2, but they can take
more students at this time. Level 1 classes have open spots as well.
Class information is available online at www.matcmadison.edu. Click on
a-z index, click on ACE (Adult and Continuing Ed), click on courses and
then scroll down to Sign Language.
You will need the following course numbers when you do register online:
Level 1
Downtown: 25993 Tues, 25995 Wed
Middleton: 26045 Mon
Level 2 36062
Level 3 36063
