Hi. I'm writing a paper for my ASL class. It's due very soon so would anyone please help me? It's about Deaf Culture and Safety. These are different questions than in my previous thread. Some of these situations may seem obvious or be a bit outrageous, but please help me out as much as you can:
1) How do you know if your car is being broken into? Is there a light or vibration system that alerts you?
2) Is it custom to prepare for a power outage, where there would be limited light, with generators, candles, flashlights, etc?
3) When it is cold enough to wear gloves, is it preferable to wear a specific type (for example, gloves with a different color for each finger)? (I'd assume mittens aren't very helpful).
4) What do you do when you are driving and an emergency vehicle has got its siren on, but its lights are out of sight? Or if another driver is honking their horn because they are about to run a red light?
5) How is your smoke alarm different from those in a hearing household?
6) And finally, are there any limitations to your 911 services? How do you access them in a quick emergency? Can you reach 911 from your cell phone? What did people do in emergency situations before having cell phones and VRS?
Thanks a WHOLE lot! You don't have to answer them all, but the more, the better.
