  • Title: Disaster Relief and Crisis Intervention with Deaf Communities: Lessons Learned from the Japanese Deaf Community.
    Author: Takayama K.
    Journal: J Soc Work Disabil Rehabil; 2017; 16(3-4):247-260. PubMed ID: 28976290.
    Abstract:
    During natural disasters and crises, the deaf and hard of hearing community might not have full accessibility to all of the information shared with the larger hearing community. This could be due to the lack of awareness among social work professionals about these cultural and linguistic needs of this minority population. The purpose of this article is to explore the challenges faced by the deaf community and to discuss culturally and linguistically appropriate crisis intervention and mobilization to natural disaster situations based on the experiences of the Japanese deaf communities affected by the Kobe and Tohoku earthquakes.
