What CEPIN Can Do For You

Training and Education
CEPIN (Community Emergency Preparedness Information Network) has been a FEMA training partner since 2004, developing and delivering U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certified courses on emergency and disaster preparedness for the deaf, hard of hearing and 
deaf-blind.  Here are a few of the course offerings:

  • Emergency Responders and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing: Taking the First Steps to Disaster Preparedness, Course # AWR-186
A DHS-certified direct delivery that provides emergency responders with the tools needed to address the emergency and disaster    preparedness needs of the deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind communities. The course also gives individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of emergency responders during emergencies and disasters.

Outreach and Advisory Services
If you’re with an emergency response or management agency, CEPIN can help you reach out to the deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind communities you serve.  Depending on where you’re located, that could account for about 20% of the population.  We can help ensure these individuals aren’t overlooked in your preparedness planning by:
  • providing outreach services;
  • assisting with fire safety and preparedness guidelines that are specific to the deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind communities in your jurisdiction;
  • showing you how to make your community fire safety training programs truly accessible;
  • facilitating sessions between emergency planning/disability groups, as well as tabletop exercises. 

In a world you can’t predict, you need a training partner you can depend on.  Let a proven, experienced FEMA training partner assist you in helping the people you serve.
