Manitoba Deaf Association
Hosts
Presentation on Text-911
Speaker: The police officer will give a speech about
T-911.
Purpose
for Townhall Meeting: T9-1-1 (Text with 9-1-1) provides 9-1-1
call centres the ability to communicate with a Deaf, hard of hearing, or speech
impaired person during an emergency using wireless text messaging.
The
customers have to register at the wireless providers with T9-1-1 that should
only be used for emergency situations that require a response from police, fire
or emergency medical services.
When
a registered user requires 9-1-1 services, they dial 9-1-1 on their cell phone.
There is no need for them to speak, as the 9-1-1 call taker will be notified
that the caller needs to communicate via text messaging. The 9-1-1 call taker
then initiates text messaging with the caller to address emergency.
Thursday, March 27, 2013
7:00 to 8:00 pm
Affleck
Room, Deaf Centre Manitoba, 285 Pembina Hwy, Winnipeg MB
Refreshment and Sign language interpretation will be
provided.
For more details or information, please contact
Dennis Zimmer at djzimmer@shaw.ca or Doug Momotiuk at dougmomotiuk@shaw.ca.
We hope to see you on March 27th.
